Interesting fact

The 50 Lipa coin from Croatia has a unique feature - it has a holographic security strip on its reverse side, which displays a moving image of a dancing peacock when tilted at different angles. This feature was introduced in 2009 to prevent counterfeiting and add an extra layer of security to the coin.
