Interesting fact
The Elizabeth II (The Caribou) 2021 coin from Canada is unique in that it features a reverse design that changes depending on the angle of the light. The coin's reverse, designed by Canadian artist Claude Thivierge, features a stylized caribou standing on a rocky outcrop, with the sun setting in the background. When viewed straight on, the caribou appears to be standing still, but when the coin is tilted, the image appears to shift, giving the illusion of movement. This innovative design technique is known as "angular minting" and creates a dynamic and eye-catching effect.
