Interesting fact

The Janus coin, released in 2021 by Austria, features a unique design that showcases two contrasting sides, symbolizing the dual nature of the Roman god Janus, who was known for looking both forward and backward at the same time. This design is reflected in the coin's shape, which is a 24-sided polygon, representing the 24 hours of the day. The coin's copper material and 8.9g weight also add to its unique character, making it a standout among other coins.
