What's up plebs?!
It's been a while since I shared one of my precious coins :)
So today I have something featuring a young beautiful lad. Just like @summertooth and @silverd510 likes them!
So, this is a commemorative coin issued in 2005 for the 100 years of the Nobel peace prize of Bert
ha Von Suttner.
And....she is actually a lady lmao!
Super quick run down of her. She was born under the name Bertha Sophie Felicitas Freifrau von Suttner, she was a Czech-Austrian activist and writer who championed peace. She is probably best known for her anti-war novel "Lay Down Your Arms!" which argued against war. During her entire life she advocated for peace and became the first woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905, just four years after the prize's creation. Here's a link to Wikipedia if you'd like to read more on her!
Now let's flip the coin:
Nothing of the blue here. The denomination (10 Euro) and a unique design of the imperial eagle. This one is pretty nice!
And finally the edge
It reads
ΕΙΡΗΝΗ PAX PEACE
Note: Ειρήνη is Greek for peace
I think the inscription here is self explanatory considering the work of
