Interesting fact

The 50 Euro Gold coin from Italy, minted in 2016 as part of the "Fauna in Art - Contemporary Age" series, features a unique design that incorporates a micro-sculpture of a bee, created by artist Italian artist Mauro 'Mirko' Nacoti. The bee is crafted from a single grain of rice, and is barely visible to the naked eye, requiring a magnifying glass to see in detail. This tiny sculpture is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity, and adds an extra layer of interest and exclusivity to an already beautiful and valuable coin.
