Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an Exotic Shorthair Cat on the reverse side, which is a breed of domestic cat known for its unique appearance and friendly personality. The inclusion of this design on the coin adds a touch of whimsy and playfulness to an otherwise traditional coin.
