Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of metals, typically containing a small amount of silver (in this case, .005 silver), and was used as a cost-effective alternative to pure silver coins. This coin, despite being made of a less valuable material, still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
