Comment
This is an error coin where the word Experimental is incorrectly spelt as ExrerimentalInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a mint error, specifically a misprinted date. Instead of the correct date of 1996, the coin bears the date 1986, making it a rare and unique collector's item.
