Interesting fact

The Hog Fish coin from Palau is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it features a holographic image of a hogfish, a species of fish known for its distinctive snout. The hologram is placed on top of a frosted silver background, giving it a striking appearance. Additionally, the coin's weight of 25 grams and silver purity of .900 make it a valuable and sought-after collectible among numismatists.
