Interesting fact
The 5 Euro Caravaggio coin from Italy, made of Silver (.925) and weighing 18g, features an interesting design. The coin's reverse side depicts Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio's famous painting, "The Calling of St. Matthew," which is considered one of the Baroque period's most iconic works of art. The painting's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts of light and dark, is beautifully replicated on the coin, creating a striking visual effect.
