What's up plebs?!

It's been a while since I shared one of my precious coins :)

So today I have something featuring a young beautiful lad. Just like @summertooth and @silverd510 likes them!

So, this is a commemorative coin issued in 2005 for the 100 years of the Nobel peace prize of Bert

And....she is actually a lady lmao!

She is probably best known for her anti-war novel "Lay Down Your Arms!" which argued against war. During her entire life she advocated for peace and became the first woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905, just four years after the prize's creation. Here's a link to Wikipedia if you'd like to read more on her!

ΕΙΡΗΝΗ PAX PEACE

Note: Ειρήνη is Greek for peace

I think the inscription here is self explanatory considering the work of
