Interesting fact
The Hawksbill Turtle coin from Niue is a unique and interesting collector's item. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a 3D design of a Hawksbill Turtle, which gives the illusion that the turtle is swimming on the surface of the coin. This 3D effect is achieved through a special minting technique that creates a raised relief on the coin's surface, making it stand out from other coins. This feature not only adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal but also serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats.
