Faces

“With five faces” - yeah, that's why I'm on Numista typing in a description of the coin and landing on this page….WHO ARE THOSE FACES?! Where the rest of the coin is in English, I'm thinking “Universaro” is unlikely Italian and perhaps meant to be Esperanto? Google says the weird Omega symbol was used by M&B Mining - I see Google speculation the five faces represent generic people from five continents but only one face is “ethnic” (Yul Brynner, bald Asian man) and most people would assume six populated continents and if it was just inclusivity I'd expect some females.

I don't know. They are creepy. 🥶

It was only 1972. Inclusion of women was still highly contentious at that time.
