Obverse descriptionThe coin by sculptor John Duarte seeks to recreate the ethical values of giving and sharing. The two hands represent the human being and the two pieces of bread, the food. Several hands with the food are placed in a circle to reach the center of the piece, the dynamic of offering and symbolizing a great chain of solidarity. The closer you get to the center of the coin, the smaller the hands become until they enter the bank.
