Interesting fact
The 2½ Cents (Computed Tomography) 2018 coin from South Africa is unique in that it features a holographic image of a human skull on its reverse side. This hologram is created using a technique called "computed tomography," which is a form of X-ray imaging that uses computer technology to produce detailed cross-sectional images of objects. The hologram on the coin is actually a 3D image of a skull that appears to float above the coin's surface when viewed from different angles. This innovative design feature adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to an already rare and valuable coin.
