Interesting fact
The Blueface Angelfish and Butterflyfish coin from Palau is a unique and interesting collector's item. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a color-changing phenomenon known as "color-shifting." When viewed from different angles, the colors of the fish appear to shift and change, creating a mesmerizing effect. This is achieved through the use of special technology that embeds tiny particles in the coin's surface, which refract light and create the illusion of color change. This feature adds an extra layer of beauty and rarity to an already stunning coin.
