Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique gold plating technique, known as "pad-printing," which allows for a thin layer of gold to be applied to the copper-nickel substrate, creating a beautiful and durable finish. This process is not commonly used in coin production, making the coin even more special and collectible.
