Interesting fact

The Emperor Moth coin from Guernsey is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it features a design that changes color under UV light. The moth's wings appear as a deep purple color in normal lighting, but when exposed to UV light, they shift to a vibrant blue hue. This fascinating feature adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already beautiful and rare coin.
