Interesting fact

The 10 Vatu (Louis XIV) 2015 coin from Vanuatu is a non-circulating coin made of gold (.585) and weighs 0.50g. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Louis XIV of France, who ruled from 1643 to 1715, on one side, and the Vanuatu coat of arms on the other. This coin was issued in 2015 as part of a series commemorating famous historical figures, and its unique design makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
