Interesting fact

The 1999 Year of the Rabbit gold coin from the People's Republic of China has a unique feature - it has a frosted relief, which gives the coin a distinctive look and feel. The frosted relief is achieved through a special minting process that creates a textured, matte finish on the coin's surface. This process adds an extra layer of detail and visual interest to the coin, making it stand out from other coins.
