Comment
At first glance this coin seems plain but by touching the coins surface it reveals its surprise - a newly hatched chick appears. A complex printing process using thermo-colours makes this “enchantment” possible. As if touched by a ghostly hand the image disappears when the colour cools down.Interesting fact
