Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique horse design on one side, while the other side is anonymous, lacking any visible symbols or letters. This unusual design choice was likely made to avoid offending any particular group or individual, and instead, focus on the value and utility of the coin as a medium of exchange.
