Nikola Tesla is one of my favorite people of all time. Between him and Edward Leedskalnin, who built Coral Castle, it's a toss up. When I saw this 2018 Proof Nikola Tesla coin, I had to have it. Here are some details about the coin from Apmex.

This 1 oz .999 fine Silver Proof coin from the Republic of Serbia commemorating Nikola Tesla is the first Proof coin in the new series. Each coin in the series will feature a prominent invention that helped shape the world we live in today.

This series will run for several years with each coin commemorating some of Nikola Tesla's greatest inventions. Nikola Tesla is one of the most brilliant minds in history and his inventions helped propel our future. In fact, we still use many of his inventions today which is a testament of his creativity and forward thinking.

Features an iconic image of Nikola Tesla with his hand resting against his face. Below the image is the inscription “Electrical Visionary” and “Powering The Future”. Near the outer rim of the coin is Nikola Tesla’s name in English and in Serbian Cyrillic.

Features the Republic of Serbia coat of arms centered above along with a highly detailed image of one of Nikola Tesla’s greatest inventions: the "Induction Motor". Above the image reads Alternating Current (AC) and below the image reads “Lighting The World”. Additionally each coin displays the weight, purity and Silver content along with the date and denomination.

That's a wrap!

I'll be collecting the rest of this set as it comes out. Tomorrow will be the second coin in this series. Keep an eye out!

I am from Serbia, and for us Tesla is not just the greatest scientist but one of the greatest man. It is not that only people from Serbia love Tesla but also from Croatia because Tesla was born in Croatia. Tesla sad that he is proud on his Croatian homeland and on his Serbian nationality.

Very cool @igor45123! He was the greatest of all time. Thanks for stopping by.

When asked what it felt like to be the smartest man on Earth, Albert Einstein replied: i don’t know, ask Tesla.

Cool round dude 👊😎

Isn't that the truth. They did Tesla dirty. I'm expecting this will be a sweet series. Can't wait to see what the others will feature.

Cool coin VG. He was a badass. And so is the band Tesla..... Rock on👊🏻

🤘🤘🤘
