| Description : "NUTRIRE IL PIANETA" (feed the planet) is the first part of the
World Expo's motto, "energia per la vita" (energy for life) the second. It is intended to combine technology, innovation,
culture, tradition and creativity with the themes of food and nutrition and thus ties in with themes that have already played
a role in previous world exhibitions. Through the stylised depiction of a hemisphere, above it a watered seed before germination,
as well as a grape, an olive branch and an ear of wheat, the coin designer Maria Grazia Urbani visualises the theme. At
the bottom is the logo of Expo 2015, a superimposition of the characters "EXPO" and "2015", below which is "MILANO 2015" (Milan
2015). On the right is the ligature of the country name "RI" (Repubblica Italiana, Italian Republic) and the "R" the mint mark
of the Italian mint Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato in Rome. On the left are the initials "MGU" of the designer. |
