It's hard to imagine how you'd get something as massive as a black hole onto something as small as a 50p ($0.65) coin. But the Royal Mint just did exactly that.
In honour of the renowned British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking,?? ??? ?? who passed away in 2018, the Royal Mint is issuing a special coin featuring a black hole design and the equation S=kAc^3/4hG, the so-called Bekenstein–Hawking equation.

Hawking dedicated much of his professional life as a theoretical physicist and cosmologist to improve our understanding of the nature of black holes.
The designer of the commemorative coin, Edwina Ellis, said in a press release sent to Mashable that she wanted the coin to represent how Hawking succeeded in making complicated science easier to understand.
"Stephen Hawking made difficult subjects accessible, engaging and relatable and this is what I wanted to portray in my design," Ellis said. "I wanted to fit a big black hole on the tiny coin and wish he was still here chortling at the thought.”
Hawking died in March 2018.
