Nicolaus Copernicus is credited with launching the scientific revolution, leaving an indelible mark on its progression. His crowning achievement, the heliocentric theory, posited that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun, challenging the long-held belief of the time. This revolutionary idea was detailed in his magnum opus, “De revolutionibus orbium coelestium” (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres).

 

The obverse side of the coin proudly displays an image of Nicolaus Copernicus, capturing his essence and contributions. What makes this side particularly striking is the amber sun, a fitting tribute to the heliocentric theory that positioned the Sun at the center of our solar system.

 

Turning the coin over, the reverse side presents a detailed depiction of the 16th-century solar system. This design not only reflects the time when Copernicus lived but also serves as a visual representation of his groundbreaking theory.
