Silver Einstein Ring 20 EUR PF - 2025

Information about Silver Einstein Ring 20 EUR Proof AT – 2025

From the birth of a star to its magnificent end: the new coin series "Beauty of the Universe" presents the most spectacular phenomena of space – in a truly spectacular way. To best illustrate each astronomical phenomenon, every coin in the series has a uniquely sophisticated shape. Waves, curves, and bends reflect the dynamics and drama of the cosmos. The universe is full of energetic and high-tension events, it is endlessly diverse – and endlessly beautiful. The series introduces five physical-astronomical phenomena in the universe: Supernova (2024), Einstein Ring (2025), Cat’s Eye Nebula (2026), Gravitational Wave (2027), and Protostar (2028).

The second edition features the Einstein Ring. An Einstein Ring is an apparent, ring-shaped image of a single galaxy, created by the curvature of space-time – a phenomenon made possible by Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Gravity bends space, deflecting light and creating optical illusions. Although Einstein predicted this effect theoretically, he believed it would never be observable – until it was first discovered in 1979. This silver coin from the Beauty of the Universe series illustrates this phenomenon in honor of the 70th anniversary of Einstein’s death.

The Proof finish (Polierte Platte) is especially popular among collectors and is one of the most intricate coin minting techniques. The coin is strictly limited to 30,000 pieces worldwide and comes in its original mint case with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

The Design of the Silver Coin

On the obverse side, a circular wave rises – symbolizing the Einstein Ring. It represents an optical duplication of a single light source, depicted to the left. Between this light source and the observer lies – in simplified terms – a galaxy cluster that bends the light through its gravity and creates the ring-like illusion. The formula ∆∅ = 4GM / bc², used to calculate this light deflection, clearly complements the design. The reverse of the coin mirrors the shape of the obverse and features a colorful interpretation of the Einstein Ring.
