Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique plating technique, where a thin layer of 24-karat gold is applied to a copper-nickel base, creating a striking contrast between the shiny gold and the silver-colored background. This process not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the coin but also adds an extra layer of durability, making it a valuable collector's item.
