Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTUM" (May the name of the Lord be blessed) is misspelled as "SIT NOMEN DOMINI BENEDICTVM" with the letter "M" appearing twice. This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and has become a unique characteristic of this particular coin.
