Interesting fact
The European stag beetle coin has a unique feature - it has a magnifying glass effect. When held at a certain angle, the coin's design appears to be 3D, and the stag beetle seems to jump out of the coin's surface. This effect is achieved through a special technique called "micro-sculpting" that creates tiny, detailed structures on the coin's surface. This feature adds an extra layer of interest and beauty to an already stunning coin.
