Interesting fact
The Northern Cardinal coin featuring Elizabeth II, issued in 2008, is unique because it was designed with a special colorization technique that gives the bird's plumage a vibrant, lifelike appearance. This was achieved through a process called "enameling," where a thin layer of enamel is applied to the coin's surface to create a glossy, colored finish. This technique adds an extra layer of beauty and detail to the coin, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
