Nikola Tesla is the face of a silver 1 oz legal tender coin series issued by the National Bank of Serbia since 2018 in honor of their world-famous native. Tesla arrived in the USA in 1884 penniless but rich in ideas.
The collection features a permanent portrait of Tesla on the obverse with an evolving reverse showcasing his inventions, patents and visionary concepts.

These coins appeal to a wide spectrum of coin collectors, science & technology buffs, Tesla car owners, academia, physicists, electrical and energy professionals, and revisionist historians. He was the first to understand an array of electrical and energy technologies, including many, which others would further develop or take credit for years later.

Tesla's understanding of the greater universe continues to amaze scientists today as they rediscover or apply his concepts and contentions. His belief that almost free energy could be harnessed from the atmosphere alarmed some establishment industrialists and bankers, who organized to discredit, marginalize and defund him.
