Interesting fact
The Hawksbill Turtle coin from Palau is a unique and interesting coin because it features a 3D design that depicts a hawksbill turtle swimming in the ocean. The coin's 3D design is achieved through a special minting process that creates a raised relief on the coin's surface, giving it a lifelike appearance. This coin is a great example of innovative coin design and is a must-have for collectors interested in unique and beautiful coins.
