(ANSA) - Rome, February 24 - The official Milan Expo 2015 coin dedicated to the city of Rome was unveiled Tuesday.
The coin measures 32 mm in diameter and was forged from Nordic Brass and recycled metal with the inscription "Roma verso Expo," (Rome towards Expo).
Designed by Laura Cretara, the authoress of the Italian euro coin, it reproduces together with the official Expo logo an ideal "Tree of life," symbolising the unity of the world through five leaves representing the five continents. It will be on sale at tourist information points around the capital as well as in bookshops at major museums.
