Interesting the first type of the large bi-metallic coin in nice condition with depiction in concentric circles of technological development from the Iron Age through the Industrial Revolution and the Electronic Age to the Internet.
Edge: † STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
The edge legend takes root in a letter of Sir Isaac Newton, who wrote about his achievements, 'If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants'. And it was he, who introduced the edge protection of coins in the country.

Though the crown size coins can be met in circulation nowadays, this coin remains the largest in size and mass, serving for change. Coins of 1999 are the only year of the emission in circulation, but they are not available in the proof or uncirculated sets.
