The third and one of the most important add-ons is a holographic image of a padlock in the bottom left, when the coin has tilted this changes between a trident and a padlock. Last but not the least, micro-text in the Latin phrase ‘DECUS ET TUTAMEN’ meaning ‘An Ornament and a Safeguard’ is etched along the inner rim of the coin.
