NIKOLA TESLA (1856 – 1943)
It’s hard to imagine what life would be like without our electrical grid system, powering everything from lights and appliances to computers and businesses using safe, efficient, and affordable alternating current electricity. Or how different the world would be without the benefits of wi-fi, radio, remote controls, and robotics. These and many other advancements were based on the inventions of one of history’s greatest scientists and humanitarians: Nikola Tesla.
Born on July 10, 1856, Tesla was a visionary who profoundly transformed our understanding of electricity and energy. With over 300 patents to his name, Tesla laid the groundwork for innovations such as alternating current (AC), wireless transmission, and even remote control. The intricate design of this 2oz silver coin is inspired by Tesla’s groundbreaking discoveries, including the Tesla coil, which revolutionized the transmission of electricity, and his ambitious Wardenclyffe Tower project, aimed at providing free energy to the world.
“Nikola Tesla symbolizes a unifying force and inspiration for all nations in the name of peace and science. He was a true visionary far ahead of his contemporaries in the field of scientific development.”
