Interesting fact
The Geodesic Arc of Struve coin, minted in 2009, features a unique design that represents the intersection of art and science. The coin's shape is a geodesic arc, which is a portion of a sphere that is formed by a series of triangles. This design was inspired by the work of German-Russian astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve, who was known for his contributions to geodesy, the science of measuring the size and shape of the Earth. The coin's design is not only visually striking, but it also serves as a tribute to Struve's work and the field of geodesy.
