The coin features Ultra High Relief, antique finish. MOUNT VESUVIUS, on the west coast of Italy, is the only active volcano on mainland Europe. THE VOLCANO is classed as a complex stratovolcano because its eruptions typically involve explosive eruptions as well as pyroclastic flows. VESUVIUS and other Italian volcanoes, such as Campi Flegrei and Stromboli, are part of the Campanian volcanic arc. The Campanian arc sits on a tectonic boundary where the African plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian plate. MOUNT VESUVIUS has had a roughly 20-year eruption cycle, but the last serious eruption was in 1944. Limited Mintage Of 688 Pieces Worldwide. Weight: 2 Oz – 62.2g. Finish: CURVED N ANTIQUE FINISH.
