Interesting fact

The 2014 University of Coimbra circulating commemorative coin was the first coin in the Eurozone to feature a color-shifting design. The coin's centerpiece, which depicts the University of Coimbra's Paço das Escolhas building, appears in a shimmering blue color when viewed at an angle, but changes to a golden hue when viewed straight on. This innovative design was achieved through the use of cutting-edge technology and has made the coin highly sought after by collectors.
