Interesting fact
The Sockeye Salmon coin is a unique and interesting piece of currency, as it features a design that changes depending on the angle of the light. The coin features a reflective finish that gives the illusion of movement, making it appear as though the salmon are swimming when the coin is tilted. This innovative design was achieved through a combination of laser engraving and multiple frosting techniques, resulting in a truly eye-catching collectible.
