Galileo 2000 Italian Lire   Copernicus 1000 Polish Zloty

Galileo Galilei, 2000 Itialian Lire (1973)

Galileo Galilei was born in 1564 in Pisa, Italy. His scientific work had enormous impact on the future of science. Galileo was the first to adequately describe inertia, the linear superposition of velocities, scale, and gravitational acceleration. His writings on the Copernican model of the planets transformed opion so quickly that he met trouble from the Church, which supported the epicycles of Ptolemy. He remained convicted of heresy until 1992.
