Interesting fact

The 2023 Elizabeth II (Posthumous; Sparta) 5 Dollar Platinum coin has a unique feature - it contains a small amount of iridium, which gives it a subtle, shimmering effect. This is due to the fact that iridium has a high refractive index, which causes light to bend and scatter in a way that creates a beautiful, shimmering effect. This effect is known as "iridium flash" and is a result of the way the iridium atoms interact with light. This feature adds an extra layer of beauty and rarity to an already rare and valuable coin.
