2010 Austria Silver-Niobium Renewable Energy Coin

This beautiful silver-niobium coin celebrates the importance of renewable energy – energy generated by natural resources such as sunlight, wind and rain.

This 25 Euro silver-niobium coin, from the Austrian Mint, features a brilliant blue niobium center. On the obverse the image depicts the cycle of nature in a tree. From the roots taking in rich nourishment from the soil, which helps the tree to grow, to the leaves falling to the ground in autumn and enriching the soil, the cycle continues. The other side of the coin features various methods used in harnessing energy from renewable sources, such as a water turbine, huge propellers of a wind turbine, and solar batteries that draw energy from the sun.
