Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it contains a piece of glass salvaged from the wreck of the SS Central America, a steamship that sank in a hurricane off the coast of South Carolina in 1857. The ship was carrying a large quantity of gold, and the recovery of the treasure was a significant event in the history of numismatics. The inclusion of a piece of glass from the wreck adds a unique and fascinating element to the coin's design and history.
