Interesting fact

The 1995 $20 Elizabeth II (First Man on the Moon) coin from the Cook Islands features an error in its design. The coin's reverse side shows an image of Neil Armstrong standing on the moon with the American flag, but the flag's stars are incorrectly depicted as being in reverse. Instead of having the stars in the correct order of left to right, top to bottom, they are shown in a random pattern. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a unique and valuable piece of numismatic history.
