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 100 Vatu (Barack Obama) 2009 coin from Vanuatu is made of 0.9999 gold and weighs 0.5 grams. That's quite interesting! It's not every day you come across a coin made of almost pure gold, especially one that's dedicated to a historical figure like Barack Obama. The fact that it's a non-circulating coin makes it even more unique and valuable to collectors.
