In the 2025 proof quarters this year, the Dr Vera Rubin coin is almost entirely relief; the only part that's in the field are the words "Dark Matter". I thought that was pretty cool.

That's a great looking coin!
I met Dr. Rubin many years ago. Her daughter was an astronomy professor at UMass Amherst when I was a grad student there. It's good to see astronomy and space exploration themes on our coins, and to recognize the work of some of the people involved.

Nice coin. Cool you met her @epc.
A very interesting design for the Rubin coin. The portrait is especially well done.
According to experts, coins are made of nearly 75% dark matter and maybe 95% dark energy! WOW!
