Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Vatu (The Eiffel Tower) coin from Vanuatu is that it features a unique design that showcases the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, while also highlighting the country's own cultural heritage. The coin's obverse side features an image of the Eiffel Tower, while the reverse side features a traditional Vanuatuan motif, such as a pattern of tapa cloth or a carving of a traditional warrior. This blend of French and Vanuatuan cultures makes the coin a truly distinctive and collectible item.
