Comment
Only on rare occasions has a sitting U.S. President been featured on a legal tender coin… but the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009 was such a milestone in history that he has been honoured on a special commemorative from Vanuatu. The design on the reverse of the coin features a portrait of Barack Obama with a cameo of the national symbol of the USA, the Coronet Eagle (based on an American gold coin).Interesting fact
The 10 Vatu coin featuring Barack Obama from Vanuatu is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors or special occasions.
