Interesting fact

The 25 Shillings coin from Somalia featuring a Pope in a multi-colored cloak, issued in 2004, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's design includes a holographic element that changes the color of the Pope's cloak depending on the angle of viewing. This holographic feature adds an extra layer of visual interest to the coin and makes it stand out among other coins.
