Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the 18th century, but it's unusual for a coin to weigh as much as 12.92 grams. Most coins from this time period were made of silver or gold, and copper coins were typically used for smaller denominations. The fact that this coin was made of copper and had a relatively high weight suggests that it may have been used for a specific purpose or had a higher value than other coins of its time.
