Interesting fact

The 1992 2000 Yuan First Seismograph coin from the People's Republic of China is unique in that it features a design that changes depending on the angle of the light. The coin's reverse side features a relief image of a seismograph, which appears to move when the coin is tilted, giving the illusion of a real seismograph in action. This innovative design was achieved through the use of advanced minting techniques and has made the coin a popular collector's item among numismatists.
