Interesting fact
The 1998 Cuban Expo 2000 - Hannover 1 Peso coin is unique in that it features a holographic image of a dancer on its reverse side. This hologram is created through a process called holography, which uses lasers to record and reconstruct three-dimensional images. The hologram on this coin is particularly noteworthy because it appears to move as the coin is tilted, giving the illusion of a dancer in motion. This innovative design element adds an extra layer of interest and beauty to an already rare and collectible coin.
