Albert Einstein was born in 1879 in a hall in southern Germany, he revolutionized physics with "relativity", which describes the relation between mass and energy. Private relativity together with quantum field theory forms the theoretical basis of the standard model of particle physics. This model, together with general relativity, is regarded as the theoretical basis for all physics.
Einstein, who came from a Jewish family, spent part of his life in Switzerland and received Swiss citizenship in 1901. He lived in the city of Bern, Switzerland between 1905-1903, where he developed his theory of relativity. The national coin said that, inspired by the famous scientist, they wanted to set a world record in the world's smallest coin production with "excellence and perseverance like Einstein".
