Comment
The coloured picture is encapsulated in either glass or a hard plasticInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of religious leaders, with the Pope and the Dalai Lama depicted together on the same coin. This is a rare example of interfaith dialogue and cooperation, and it highlights the significance of religious harmony and understanding.
