Close-up view of a coin from the Yoshi’s Island Zone DLC for Sonic Lost World.
These are a faithful recreation of the highly stylized design of Yoshi coins as seen in the original manual for Yoshi’s Island and in fact the only high-quality 3D version of them that has been faithful so far; in contrast, e.g. the coins from the Yoshi’s Island track in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass simply have a regular on-model Yoshi head on them.

Super Mario World is one of the Mario games in which arbitrary code execution (ACE) is possible. ACE is the ability to use glitches to make the game execute not merely code it already contains but any instructions the system’s processor is capable of, essentially making the game fully editable.
Large sustained applications of ACE (usually only possible via tool assistance) can be used to completely reprogram a game, while small humanly-achievable applications can be used to make the game “jump” to unintended places in the code (used most often to skip to the credits for the purposes of speedrunning).
Super Mario World does not normally contain an anti-piracy message, however, the Super Mario World + Super Mario All-Stars version does. The footage above shows the end of a humanly-achievable (though still exceedingly complex) setup in which ACE is used to trigger the anti-piracy message during gameplay.
