Extra info
Esperanto is an international auxiliary language developed to promote communication and peace between nations; this coin reflects the idea of one world, one language, one system.
This "official" currency of Esperantists was minted at the Royal Mint under Mint Master Dr. J.W.A. van Hengel in 1960 as a fictitious means of payment at Esperanto congresses.
It was the Universala Ligo that created the stelo. On 14 April 1942, exactly 25 years after his death, L.L. Zamenhof was privately commemorated in a house in The Hague by a group of loyal Esperantists. The group had already experienced the tyranny of occupation (Esperantists were persecuted) and wanted to undertake something concrete to help humanity avert a 'world catastrophe'. After discussion they all decided to establish a world organization named Universala Ligo (UL) and as the main goal of the association to carry out Zamenhof's original program, namely to unite humanity with one common auxiliary language.
