Nicolaus Copernicus is credited with launching the scientific revolution, leaving an indelible mark on its progression. His groundbreaking heliocentric theory posited that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, challenging the long-held belief of the time. This revolutionary idea was published in his seminal work, “De revolutionibus orbium coelestium” (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), forever changing our perspective of the universe.

 

The obverse side of the coin beautifully captures an image of a scholar, deeply engrossed in observing the Sun. This depiction is further enhanced with the use of rose gold, adding a touch of elegance and distinction to the design.

 

On the reverse, one can admire a representation of the 16th-century solar system, a testament to the era of Copernicus. Additionally, the coat of arms of the Central Bank of Malta and the mint mark of Germania Mint are prominently displayed, signifying the coin’s authenticity and origin.
