In 2002, Italy released a set of Euros to establish a new national currency. Leonardo's "Vitruvian Man" is the subject for the 1 Euro coin. The "Vitruvian Man" coin displays a sense of Italian pride in da Vinci. It also alludes to the fact that the Renaissance occured in Italy. The 1 Euro Coin was voted "Most Beautiful" in the collection. The beauty of the "Vitruvian Man" is still evident in today's culture.
