Comment

Interesting fact

The 500 Euro Institut Curie coin from France, made of gold (.999) and weighing 155.5g, was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Prize awarded to Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win two Nobel Prizes in different fields - physics and chemistry. The coin features an image of Marie Curie on one side and the Institut Curie logo on the other. It was minted in 2009 and has a face value of 500 euros, although its actual value is much higher due to its gold content and collectibility.
