Interesting fact
The 50 Euro Franciscus coin from Vatican City, issued in 2014 to commemorate the 450th anniversary of Michelangelo's death, has a unique feature. The coin's design, created by artist Mariangela Gualtieri, includes a small insert of a Michelangelo's famous sculpture, the "Pietà," which is made of pure gold. This insert is placed on the coin's reverse side, surrounded by an outer ring of gold that has a matte finish. This combination of gold and gold creates a striking visual effect and adds an extra layer of depth to the coin's design.
