Comment
Mule with the obverse of GH 207-11b and reverse of GH 207-11a.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is a mule, meaning it was minted with the obverse (front) die of one coin and the reverse (back) die of another coin, creating a unique combination that is not typically found in standard circulation coins. This can make it particularly valuable to collectors.
