Comment
The products discovered in the new world are depicted: cotton, corn and the potato which later constituted an authentic revolution for the world economy.Interesting fact
The 5 Lire coin from San Marino featuring the Cotton Plant, issued in 1992, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's designer, Italian artist and engraver, Uliana Pernazza, included a subtle detail on the coin's reverse side. If you look closely, you'll notice that the cotton plant's leaves spell out the word "LIBERTAS," which is Latin for "freedom." This hidden message adds an extra layer of meaning and significance to the coin's design.
