Interesting fact
The 50 Lire coin commemorating Pierre and Marie Curie, issued by San Marino in 1984, features an error in the design. The coin was meant to show the Curies holding a test tube containing a glowing substance, but due to a mistake in the minting process, the test tube appears to be empty. This error has become a unique characteristic of the coin and is now highly sought after by collectors.
