Interesting fact
The ram on the coin is a symbol of strength and courage, and it's interesting to note that the ram on this coin is depicted without a flag, which was a common feature on coins of that time. This could suggest that the coin was issued during a time of peace and prosperity, when the need for military symbols was less prominent.
