Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted with a non-magnetic metal, which is unusual for coins. Most coins are made of metals that are magnetic, such as iron or nickel, but this coin was made of bronze, which is a non-magnetic metal. This makes it stand out from other coins and adds to its unique features.
