Comment
Pattern Strike of KM#63; metal lighter in colorInteresting fact
The coin features a unique bimetallic design, with a copper-nickel center surrounded by an aluminum bronze ring. This distinctive design element was implemented to reduce the cost of production, as copper-nickel is a more expensive material than aluminum bronze. By using a bimetallic design, the mint was able to create a visually appealing coin without incurring the high costs associated with using a single, more expensive material.
