Max Karl Planck, 1888-1947, was a was a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. Coins of E. Germany, Germany and Togo celebrate his most famous equation,
E = hν, where Energy (E, Joules) is equal to Planck’s constant (h = 6.626 x 10^-34 J/Hz) times the frequency (ν in Hertz, actually the lower-case Greek letter nu).
