Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of metals, known as Billon, which is an alloy of 33.3% silver and 66.7% copper. This composition was chosen to reduce the cost of production while still maintaining the coin's durability and resistance to wear and tear.
