Interesting fact

The Ankylosaurus coin from Burkina Faso has a unique feature - it has a built-in magnifying glass effect. When held at a certain angle, the coin's reflective surface creates a magnified image of the ankylosaurus, giving the illusion that the dinosaur is larger than it actually is. This interesting fact makes the coin a standout among other collectible coins.
