Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Francs coin from Vanuatu (formerly known as the New Hebrides) is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of a traditional Ni-Vanuatu warrior, while the reverse side depicts a local village scene, complete with traditional huts and palm trees. This design was created by the French engraver, Pierre Gandon, and it has become a distinctive feature of Vanuatu's currency.
