Interesting fact
The coin features a unique chameleon design that changes color depending on the angle of the light. The chameleon's body appears to change from a shiny silver color to a darker, more muted tone, giving the coin a fascinating and eye-catching effect. This color-changing feature is achieved through the use of advanced nanotechnology, which was first used in coinage by the Republic of the Congo in 2017.
