Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a series of dots or pellets on the left side of the coin, which are believed to represent the phases of the moon. This design element has been found on other coins from the same time period and region, and it's thought to be a way of indicating the coin's value and authenticity.
