1491) Alexander Graham Bell, Niue: Fourth and Final Coin with a denominational value of 1 NZD (One New Zealand Dollar) in "Geniuses of the 19th Century Coin Series" minted by the Czech Mint on behalf of Niue: Date of Coin issue: 2020:
The Nineteenth Century was not only a century of steam, but also of eccentric and brilliant inventors.
Today's advanced technology, without which we cannot imagine our comfortable lives, was found thanks to them.
Geniuses of the Nineteenth Century, who invented ground-breaking novelties in the loneliness of their offices, workshops and laboratories, pushed the boundaries of the human race and changed the future of generations for the better.
Each of these pioneers was a peculiar personality with his own goals, but they had one thing in common - their success was the result of a steady, stubborn effort ..........
The following inventors are included in this four part mini-series of Silver Coins:
- Thomas Alva Edison
- Nikola Tesla
- Alfred Bernhard Nobel
- Alexander Graham Bell
The Czech Mint has introduced Alexander Graham Bell as the fourth inventor on the Silver Coin in the "Geniuses of the 19th Century Coin Series":
Members of the Bell Family in Scotland have been developing the spoken language for generations.
Alexander Graham Bell continued this activity. He studied acoustics at the universities of Edinburgh and London, motivated by his efforts to help his deaf mother.
He believed that technological progress would completely cure deafness some day. He lacked physical education and engineering skills, but he compensated these shortcomings with extra-ordinary diligence and the and the help of his assistant Thomas A. Watson.
When he obtained a human ear specimen from a Boston doctor, he could see how the fine membrane of the eardrum was able to vibrate the auditory bones. Based on this, he came up with the invention which transmitted sound-induced electrical signals over the wires between two devices.
The ground-breaking experiment took place in 1876.
While Watson placed the receiver on the loft, Bell stayed downstairs with a speaker and said a memorable sentence - "Mr. Watson, please come here, I need you here".
An enthusiastic assistant came downstairs in a while.....
However, the revolutionary invention, without which we cannot imagine our lives, did not succeed.
It is hard to believe that the post office rejected Bell's phone as a "useless thing".
The inventor spoke in vain into his funnel also at the World's Fair in Philadelphia. But then, the Brazilian Emperor noticed it, shouting - "God it is talking!" Suddenly a wave of rapid interest broke out and the phone quickly spread throughout the world.
Bell earned over $100 million in Royalties in around 20 years. Although Bell was involved in a law-suit with Chicago technician Elisha Gray, who patented a similar invention just two hours later, he did not take any action against the invention for many years. He invented, for example, a microphone, a gramophone or an audiometer, which diagnoses hearing loss.
When Bell passed away in 1922, there were already 22 million telephones in the world. They all fell silent for one minute as a mark of respect to the Genius.
