Only on rare occasions has a sitting U.S. President been featured on a legal tender coin… but the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009 was such a milestone in history that he has been honoured on a special commemorative from Vanuatu. The design on the reverse of the coin features a portrait of Barack Obama with a cameo of the national symbol of the USA, the Coronet Eagle (based on an American gold coin).Interesting fact
The Barack Obama 50 Vatu coin from Vanuatu is unique because it features a portrait of the former US President on one side and the Vanuatu coat of arms on the other, showcasing a blend of international politics and national identity.
