Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin, known as a "proof hole." This hole was drilled into the coin during the minting process as a way to test the coin's authenticity and ensure that it was made of pure gold. The presence of the proof hole indicates that the coin was minted with a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
