Interesting fact
The ⅛ Pya 1231 (1869) coin from Myanmar made of Lead weighing 7 g is interesting because it is one of the few coins in the world that was made of lead, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal. This makes it unique compared to most coins, which are typically made of more durable materials like copper, silver, or gold.
