NIOB | 2014 | Evolution | Bi-metal coin

The first time in two colors

For the first time, the niobium coin shines in two colors: a (r)evolution of bright blue and green.

The value side:
The value side of the coin visualizes the evolutionary history of medicine with various symbols. Another milestone of mankind: the decoding of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which are depicted as both pictorial and written terms in the colored niobium part. They reflect the origin of the entire evolution and thus open the door to a topic that seems infinite in its complexity. In addition, the colored niobium part shows the Aesculapian staff, the symbol of medicine, as well as your microscope and laboratory glass.

The picture side:
The main motif on the other side is Charles Darwin's theory of human evolution and the diversity of life on our planet. The niobium part of the coin shows the history of evolution from apes to homo-sapienes to humans, who are depicted in the silver ring. The upper part of the coin side shows different forms of flora and fauna.
