Interesting fact
The Lionfish coin from Palau is a unique and interesting coin due to its unusual shape. Instead of being a traditional circular shape, this coin is shaped like a lionfish, a species of fish known for its venomous spines and fan-like fins. The coin's shape is designed to resemble the lionfish's body, with the tail of the fish serving as the coin's edge. This unique shape makes the coin stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility.
