Interesting fact
The coin was made of bronze, specifically cannon bronze, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. Cannon bronze is a type of alloy that consists of copper and tin, and it was named after its use in the production of cannons. The use of cannon bronze for coins was practical because it was durable, resistant to corrosion, and had a long lifespan. However, it's interesting to note that the use of bronze for coins was not as valuable as other metals like silver or gold, and it was eventually replaced by other materials in the production of coins.
