Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin, known as a "nail hole." This hole was added to the coin to prevent it from being counterfeited, as it was believed that counterfeiters would not be able to reproduce the hole accurately. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it showcases the early efforts to prevent counterfeiting in coinage.
