This is a Japanese 500-yen coin that was renewed in November 2021. A bicolor clad with a two-color, three-layer structure. It's first one for me, last week.
I shot the front, back, and diagonals with multiple exposures, so it looks transparent, but of course it's not transparent.
This is a small part of an exhibit at Birmingham Museum.
The artwork was done by Donald Rodney (1961- 1998) and titled as "Land of Milk and Honey II" Rodney was born in Birmingham. He used objects in his work to explore aspects of the human experience. His father migrated to Smethwick from the Carribean in the mid 20th century, in search of a better life in the "Land of Milk and Honey" The Vitrine contains coins and milk. They represent the 'sourced' reality many migrants actually experienced. The material he used will deteriorate and change over time.

It’s amazing how many small coins can be fitted in a 3” square! Some of these coins, like the Australian and New Zealand old 3 penny coins are really tiny , about the size of my little finger’s nail!

Composition from small coins of copper color. A design of the round form. On a background an ancient calculating machine.
Coins are used infrequently nowadays as most of us rely on notes or card payments but in the past, they were very important, particularly gold and silver coins.
This is a history of the 20th Century Kings and Queens of England in silver coins. The first two are silver rupees from India, followed by two Australian silver threepences and finishing with Canadian silver dollar!
Two or three weeks ago I put a photo into the Macro Mondays group that I called 'Staying Alive' where I used this 50 pence coin in a different composition. Well after I'd finished shooting that image I was about to clear up the patio table where I'd taken that shot when I noticed this bee on the ground. And you'll know what I mean when I say that you sometimes see bees on the ground that are very sluggish and almost unresponsive. This was one such bee. The gears started to whirl in my brain and I thought - Why not! So I gathered it up on a piece of cardboard and gently nudged it onto my coin and took a couple of quick shots. I then put him gently back onto the ground and let him bee...
So before anyone reports me, no bees were harmed in the making of this image!

Rijksdaalder is the Dutch name for a 2,5 guilders coin. If you look carefully at the picture you will see a silver coin, a Rijksdaalder from 1929 with the image of Queen Wilhelmina
