Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique high relief design, which gives the impression of 3D depth and adds a tactile element to the coin. This is achieved through a special minting process that involves multiple strikes and careful handling to ensure the desired effect. The high relief design is particularly notable on the kangaroo image, which appears to leap off the coin's surface.
