Hungary has just started a series on its Nobel Prize winners.
First coin was issued last year. It was on Szent-Gyorgyi-Albert.
Since he got his prize for research based on paprika, the same appears on the reverse.
( also one of a kind on paprika)
He was the first Hungarian to win the Nobel since earlier two winners from Hungarian region were classified as subject of Austria Hungary empire.

Note that it is an oval coin.

Next coin is on Jeno Wigner and will be issued on 17th November 2013.

In 2009, by the way, Italy issued a €10 collector coin dedicated to the anniversary of Marconi's Nobel Prize. I don't have that piece, but this is it: http://www.zecca.ipzs.it/servlet/articoli?indiceTipo=0&indiceArti=237&indicePezzo=0

That characteristic antenna can also be found on a 100 lire coin issued along with the L.500 silver piece you showed us. The Italian 2,000 lire banknote (last series) features Marconi too ...
