Silver coin CERN<\/h1>\n

CERN (European Laboratory for Particle Physics) is the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. Founded in 1954 and based in Geneva, on the French-Swiss border, CERN is an international organisation with 24 member states. Its mission is to explore the fundamental laws of the universe by studying the smallest constituents of matter, particles.<\/p>\n

The special silver coin highlights a flagship machine of CERN, a cutting-edge tool for research and innovation in Switzerland.\u00a0The CERN’s LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is the world’s largest particle accelerator. This ring, with a circumference of 27 km, accelerates protons to a speed close to that of light before causing them to collide. The analysis of these collisions provides a deeper understanding of the fundamental structure of matter and how the Universe works. The obverse of the coin depicts one of these collisions, which generate a multitude of particles, some of which were present at the very beginning of the Universe, just after the Big Bang. The reverse depicts a magnet from the Large Hadron Collider. These superconducting magnets are technological marvels. They generate very powerful magnetic fields to guide and concentrate the particle beams in the ring.<\/p>\n

The special coin \u00abCern\u00bb is made of silver and weighs 20g. The face value of CHF 20 is shown on the reverse. The coin is issued in a mintage of 3\u2019500 pieces in the quality \u00abProof\u00bb in presentation case and 7\u2019500 pieces uncirculated in the blister.<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″]
