Interesting fact
The Elizabeth II (Australian Owl) coin from Tuvalu is a unique and interesting coin, as it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and an image of an owl on the other. The owl is depicted in a flying pose, with its wings spread wide, and is surrounded by a circle of stars. The coin's design is meant to symbolize the Queen's association with wisdom and the owl's association with insight and intuition. Additionally, the coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
