2020 has been marked by the global health crisis related to Covid-19. This event has disrupted our lives to a great extent.

Research is an essential key to finding a vaccine or cure for the virus, and this release both thanks the medical staff on the frontlines of the battle and will benefit medical research through a donation.

Please note that there will not be an uncirculated version of this coin available. The BU version is available in three different card holders (Union, Merci and Heroes).

The obverse of the coin represents the figuration of the human in union, represented by a face inscribed in a sphere. It faces the infinitely small, represented by fragments of DNA inscribed in a circle. By its oblique axis, this allegory represents the research and its intelligence dominating the infinitely small; studying it and triumphing over the diseases.
