Comment
Engineering. The science of design. The cogwheel as a symbol of regularity and movement, precision and collaboration.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the design. The coin was intended to have a proof finish, but due to a mistake at the mint, it was released with a brilliant uncirculated finish instead. This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors.
