The UK’s Royal Mint has unveiled a 50 pence coin with a black hole on it to commemorate late scientist Stephen Hawking, who passed away last year aged 76. In 1975, Hawking had published a theory stating that black holes aren’t entirely black and glow slightly. Previously, scientists Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin have appeared on coins.
