Interesting fact

The Arctic Tern coin is unique because it features a design that changes depending on the angle of the light. The coin's reverse side features a frosted finish, which creates a beautiful contrast with the polished background. This effect is achieved through a technique called "specular lighting," which creates a mirror-like effect on certain areas of the coin's surface. This results in a visually striking and dynamic design that is sure to catch the eye of any coin collector or enthusiast.
