Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1981 Elizabeth II (Disabled Persons; Piedfort) 500 Dollars coin from Eastern Caribbean States is that it has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin was designed with a special "piedfort" technique, which means that the coin has a thicker than usual rim, giving it a distinctive look and making it stand out from other coins. This feature was added to the coin to symbolize the importance of accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities, which is reflected in the coin's theme and design.
