Austria 2023 3 Euro Colored Collector Coin Glowing in UV Light – Swell Shark.

This is the second coin in the “Glowing Water World” series.

The reverse of the coin features a wide band reminiscent of an ancient porthole, framing a water scene – it appears as though a swollen shark is swimming past the porthole, its body brown in color, glowing green when illuminated by ultraviolet light. As with all coins in this series, a shell and a starfish are visible on the left and bottom.

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.
