To commemorate this important event Art mint has produced this unusual coin with a real rubber tire! A world premiere in coin industry!
This revolutionary coin is not only a commemoration of a huge industrial success. It is also an artistic challenge that combines innovative technology (unique edge shape), modern design and a material used for the first time in a coin: real rubber.
