Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique gold plating technique, known as "pad-printing," which allows for a thinner layer of gold to be applied to the coin's surface while still maintaining its durability and shine. This process creates a striking contrast between the gold-plated areas and the copper-nickel base metal, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal.
