Glowing Topaz and Ankle Grinder

Those two phrases are the best way to describe this coin. At least if you play a bit with a flashlight. The coin has a topaz marble in the center inside a stainless steel mount. Around the marble is the 1 oz antiqued silver coin. On this silver coin are multiple coi fish, which are symbols of good luck in many countries.

But aside from the obvious there's something strange with this coin; Both sides of the coin are ground down. They claim it's to simulate the look of an ancient artefact. Not sure whether that was a good idea, but at least you can get a coin to pass as Uncirculated with major scratches. But it looks beautiful. Especially if you light the topaz up.
