The 50 Cents (Silver Proof Issue) coin from Singapore, minted between 1985 and 1988, has a unique feature - it has a mirror-like finish. This is achieved through a process called "proofing," where the coin is struck multiple times to create a highly detailed and polished finish. The result is a coin that appears almost mirror-like, with a brilliant shine that highlights the intricate details of the design. This finish is particularly notable on the coin's silver surface, giving it a striking and eye-catching appearance.
