Abstract
In three articles published in CNJ in 2012 and 2016 , we discussed some links between mathematical sciences, coin minting and numismatics. This article is a continuation of this cycle. It tells the story of selected important developments in the history of geometry using modern commemorative coins as a background and illustration.
