Interesting fact
The Three Wise Monkeys coin from Somalia features three monkeys in a unique design, with one monkey covering its eyes, another covering its ears, and the third covering its mouth. This design is meant to symbolize the proverbial "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" phrase, which is a well-known saying in many cultures. The use of gold for the coin's material and the unique design make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
