Leonardo da Vinci's drawing on a coin




This creation of Leonardo da Vinci is known as "Vitruvian Man". He made this drawing to explain his theory related to human body. This drawing was based on the some geometrical grounds of an ancient Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius (1st century A.D.).

This drawing has been inscribed on a 1 Euro coin of Italy. Because of this beautiful drawing this coin is a piece of attraction. This is also the best way to honour the great personality like Leonardo da Vinci.
