Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Jigme Singye (Year of the Horse) 2002 coin from Bhutan is that it has a unique feature - a hidden date. The date of the coin is not explicitly mentioned on the coin, instead, it is hidden within the design of the horse's mane. The horse's mane is designed to resemble the Bhutanese script for the number 2, and if you look closely, you can see the number 02 (representing the year 2002) hidden within the mane. This hidden date feature adds an extra layer of uniqueness and exclusivity to the coin, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
