Austria 2023 3 Euro Colored Collector Coin Glowing in UV Light – Black Anglerfish.

This is the fourth coin in the “Luminous Marine Life” series.

The reverse of the coin is framed by a wide band reminiscent of an ancient porthole, adorned with a shell and a starfish. Inside the porthole, the coin’s surface is black, but when illuminated by ultraviolet rays, a deep-sea anglerfish glows red and green with an open mouth full of long sharp teeth, and a glowing “fishing rod” on its forehead for catching small fish.

The obverse of the coin depicts silhouettes of all 12 magical sea creatures from the “Glowing Water World” series. Air bubbles rise among them, and the tail fin disappears beneath the waves on the right.
