Interesting fact
The Yves Klein 50 Euro coin was designed by the French artist Yves Klein, who was known for his work with monochromatic paintings and his use of a specific shade of blue, known as "International Klein Blue." The coin features a blue circle on one side and a portrait of Yves Klein on the other. The blue circle is actually a representation of the artist's signature color, and it was created using a special process that involved applying a layer of blue paint to the coin's surface. This unique design feature makes the coin stand out from other coins and has contributed to its popularity among collectors.
