Comment
UC# 332Interesting fact
The 20 Won (Year of the Rabbit) 2008-2011 coin from North Korea has a unique feature - it has a latent image of a rabbit that appears when the coin is tilted under light. This feature is a result of a technique called "diffractive optically variable image" which creates a 3D image that appears to move or change as the coin is tilted. This adds an extra layer of security and uniqueness to the coin, making it a sought-after collector's item.
