As the coin submerged in water and kept at the bottom of the vessel and if it is looked right from the top then it will appear to be lifted up by a small distance such that the actual depth / apparent depth = refractive index of water. If suppose the actual height of level of water is 12 cm then the coim will be shifted up by 3 cm. So the apparent depth will be 9 cm. Hence refractive index of water = 12/9 = 4/3 = 1.333.
it is because the view we are seeing the coin is from rarer to denser that is from air to water so the refractive index differs so the view we so the coin at the bottom of the cointer appears to be raised
they coin is going down.becauce to law of motion
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced. For a dense object, such as a coin or a bowling ball, the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force and the object will sink if you let go of it. For a less dense object, such as an ice cube or a block of balsa wood, the buoyant force is greater than the weight and you can feel it pushing the object toward the surface, resisting your attempt to hold it submerged. If you let go, the object will rise up and float.
It is an optical illusion due to the fact that water is more dense than air and so slows the speed of light. When light travels from a less dense to a more dense material, it slows down and 'bends'.
The coin has a greater density than water. Styrofoam has less density than water. It's as simple as that.
It's not where it appears to be because the sun's rays are reflecting off of the water surface, and the water surface are bending the rays, so it looks like the coin is somewhere else.

As light changes from one medium to another, it changes speed and bends. This is called refraction. The light rays actually slow down when going down when going from the air to the water. This means that the coin looks like it is in a different location than it actually is.
Because the light travels slower in water, therefore the light has to hit the surface area before reaching the coin, therefore it looks larger because the light if reflecting off the container walls and the light is hitting the coin and making it appear larger.
A 500 lire coin looks like a two tone silver and gold coin. The outer border is nickel with a copper center with a picture of the Italian plaza on one side and a hand on the other with L.500 printed on the bottom.
Displaction
I suggest you get a good coin book and search for your coin in there.
The front of the coin looks the same today as it did in 1909, it's also the first one cent coin to have the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. The reverse was the Wheat Ear type with Victor D. Brenner initials at the bottom near the rim.
Becuase the coin is heavier then what the water can hold
silver
the first coin is the big silver thing on the shelf that looks like a platter. The second one is a penny and is on the second from bottom shelf on the right in front of a copper colored book.
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING "YOU" IF YOU MEAN YOURSELF ! YOU CAN USE "I", "MY", "OUR" , "WE" ... as in My pool; I am in water, We are in water, or even The water is up to .... You may actually get an answer to your question.
