Interesting fact
The 1 Peso (Expo 2000 - Brussels) 1998 coin from Cuba is unique in that it features a holographic image of a palm tree on its reverse side. This hologram is created by a special technique that uses lasers to record the interference pattern of light waves, resulting in a three-dimensional image that appears to change as the coin is tilted. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins and adds an extra layer of interest for collectors.
