Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of tin, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal, and weighs only 6 grams. This makes it unique compared to other coins of similar denomination, which are typically made of more durable materials like copper, nickel, or silver, and weigh more. The use of tin in this coin's production was likely a deliberate choice to keep the cost of production low, as tin is generally less expensive than other metals. This coin's unique composition and weight make it an interesting collector's item for numismatists interested in rare and unusual coins.
