It is of burning interest for us to know what lies behind our neighbours hedge, the next hill or the horizon. We have explored the highest heights and the deepest depths of the earth. We have stood on the moon and would like to go to Mars. Our telescopes observe starburst-galaxies millions of light years away. At the same time we are advancing into the tiniest matter. We decipher our DNA, search for the Higgs particles and accelerate protons. A millionth of a nanometre – and one nanometre equates to one millionth of a millimetre! Power Coin is proud to present this exclusive coin, a project realized thanks to the great nano-technology led to the state of the art by a brilliant German Engineer: Dr. Stephan Sauter and his company Nano Jewellery. The four Raphael Rooms are entirely depicted on the Nano Chip embedded in the coin, realized with a cutting-edge technology able to reproduce all details visible in full with a microscope.
