Comment
(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at the time, as most coins were made of precious metals like gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of this coin may have been a result of the economic and political circumstances of the time, such as a shortage of precious metals or a desire to reduce the cost of coin production. This fact highlights the historical significance of the coin and the context in which it was produced.
