Interesting fact
The Elizabeth II (Australian Owl) coin from Tuvalu is a unique and interesting coin due to its unusual design. The coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an image of an owl on the other. The owl is depicted in a standing position, with its wings spread wide, and is surrounded by a circle of small stars. The coin's design is not only visually striking but also symbolic, as the owl is a symbol of wisdom and insight, which are qualities often associated with the Queen. The coin's gold content and limited mintage also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
