Comment

This beautiful Silver coin is dedicated to a very important mathematical constant – the calculation of the number Pi.

The number π is a mathematical constant. Originally defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, it now has various equivalent definitions and appears in many formulas in all areas of mathematics and physics. It is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter “p” since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as “pi”. It is also called Archimedes’ constant.

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first-ever portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the digits of Pi (π) inscribed on her crown. This unique design was created to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Albert Einstein, who is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. The use of Pi in the design represents Einstein's groundbreaking work in mathematics and physics.
