Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an interference rainbow coating, which gives it a unique and eye-catching appearance. This coating is created by layering thin layers of metal on top of each other, causing the light to interact with the coin in a way that creates a rainbow effect. This process is known as thin-film interference and it's a technique that's often used in coinage to create visually striking designs.
