NIOB | 2010 | Renewable Energy | Bimetal Coin

Life cycle of nature

Inspired by the life cycle of nature, the side of the coin shows a tree placed in the bright blue niobium core, and the other side shows various renewable forms of energy that are playing an increasingly important role in the 21st century.

The value side:
Inspired by the life cycle of nature, the value side shows a tree which has been placed in the bright blue niobium core. The wind blows the leaves from the tree to the ground. And thus begins the spiral, symbolizing the cycle of life with the four elements - earth, wind, fire and water. The firmly rooted tree represents a healthy ecosystem.

The picture side:
The other side shows different renewable energy forms which play an increasingly important role in the 21st century. Water drives a turbine, geothermal energy generates steam. A wind power plant is also in the picture, as are solar cells that capture the sun's rays. Sustainability is a current topic of today, which will not lose its importance for a long time.
