Interesting fact
The Napoleon Fish coin from Palau is a unique and interesting coin due to its shape. Instead of being a traditional round or rectangular shape, this coin is shaped like a fish, specifically the Napoleon Fish, which is a species of wrasse native to the Pacific Ocean. The coin's design features an image of the fish on one side and the Palauan coat of arms on the other. This coin is not only visually appealing but also a great collector's item for those interested in unique coins or marine life.
