Comment
One of the six coins with freshwater fish:Interesting fact
The 10 Pence - Charles III (Common Eel; Colourised) 2023 coin from Guernsey features a unique colorization technique that sets it apart from other coins. The eel depicted on the coin has a vibrant, iridescent sheen that gives the impression of movement and depth. This effect was achieved through a special colorization process that involves applying a thin layer of color to the coin's surface, followed by a protective coating to preserve the color and prevent it from fading over time. This process not only enhances the coin's aesthetic appeal but also adds an extra layer of complexity and craftsmanship to its design.
