2022 Tokelau $5 1-oz Silver Magnum Opus Coin BU
Mathematics And Numismatics Merge To Create A Truly Fascinating Coin
What do the growth patterns of rabbits and a Grammy Award-winning album have in common with this coin? They’re all based on the Fibonacci Sequence, a mathematical equation formulated by 13th Century Italian mathematician Leonardo Bonacci that is referred to as the Golden Spiral. Bonacci, who was also known as Fibonacci, tackled a problem involving the growth of a population of rabbits in a manuscript printed in 1202 titled Liber Abaci. It was quite literally his Magnum Opus. The problem involved a sequence in which the next number is the sum of the previous two. For example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, and so on. The sequence can be charted out in the form of an ever-expanding spiral. Fast forward eight centuries later and progressive hard rock band Tool won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance with their album Lateralus that featured a nine-minute track based on the Fibonacci Sequence.
Intricate Design Pays Tribute To World-Famous Mathematical Equation
Now this groundbreaking mathematical equation has added numismatics to its list of accomplishments with this intricately designed coin that displays examples and references based on the Golden Spiral. Released on behalf of Tokelau, a remote group of atolls in the South Pacific located hallway between New Zealand and Hawaii, this legal-tender $5 coin was struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver. And, just as the Fibonacci Sequence was the Magnum Opus of Leonardo Bonacci’s career, this coin bears that title as well.
