Interesting fact
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands 25 Cents coin from 1968 made of plastic (aqua) is a unique and rare coin that features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of a coconut palm tree on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of plastic, which was a unusual choice for coins at the time, and it's also one of the few coins that features a portrait of the Queen with a crown. Additionally, the coin's design and color make it stand out from other coins, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
