Does anyone have any of the Canadian hologram coins?

Or at least a really good picture? What do you think of the look...are the holograms cool or junky looking? I guess that's rather subjective. Are the holograms realistically detailed or rather crude? Is the hologram side flat, or is the hologram "on top" of the devices? I saw some hologram coins a couple years ago at a coin show, but didn't really pay too much attention. Does anyone know how they create the hologram on the coin? Thanks.

I don't personally care for them, but that's just me - Preussen

I have only one. They are hard to photograph and I can't tell if it is etched into the coin or on a film. It is in a framed area of the coin making the detection of an film edge difficult without breaking out the microscope. Gives very vivid prism colors when rotated thru light. I would give them an "F" for hologram effect , as the vehicle does not appear to shift when rotated.

I bought one of the northern lights hologram coins and was a bit underwhelmed and flipped it.
