dutch_coin_design

On the jpg above, that’s a “Netherlands and architecture” themed 5 euro commemorative coin also named The Architecture Fiver, designed by Stani Michiels.  On the front side, that’s Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard, Queen of the Netherlands, her portrait constructed with names of famous Dutch architects. On the back side, a book shelf paying tribute to Dutch architects and the Netherlands – and both sides have been designed with free software. There is a huge amount of background info on Stani’s blog, Pythonide, about how he’s actually gone through with the design process – very brilliant and thought-provoking stuff. Thanks to @jurjen_nl, both @dawe_ and I have this –  Lucky Design Flip Coin FTW! (via infosthetics)
