Interesting fact

The coin's design was created by French artist and engraver, Joaquin Jimenez, and it features a portrait of Marie Curie surrounded by elements of her work, including a test tube and a symbolic representation of radioactivity. The coin's reverse side features the Eiffel Tower, which was a nod to Curie's time spent studying in Paris.
