This coin weighs 20.08 kg and is 36 cm in diameter. (For the mathematically challenged, that is over 44 pounds and over 14&quot; in diameter.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The design protrays &quot;important people&quot; from the past 500 years (apparently all European). These include:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Martin Luther -translated the Bible </p><p>Antonio Vivaldi - composer</p><p>James Watt - inventor of the steam engine </p><p>Bertha von Suttner - pacifist and Nobel Peace Prize winner </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can read the article <a href="http://www.etravelblackboard.com/showarticle.asp?id=78755&amp;nav=21" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.etravelblackboard.com/showarticle.asp?id=78755&amp;nav=21" rel="nofollow">here</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
