Interesting fact
The 50 Euro Cents coin from Ireland, made of Nordic gold, has a unique feature - it has a "hidden" design element. If you look closely at the coin, you'll notice that the map of Ireland appears to be incomplete. However, if you hold the coin at a certain angle, the map appears complete, with the missing section revealing the word "Éire" (the Irish word for Ireland). This clever design feature is known as a "latent image" and adds an extra layer of interest and beauty to the coin.
