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 copper, silver, or gold. The use of iron in the production of coins was often associated with times of economic hardship or war, as it was a cheaper alternative to other metals. The fact that this coin was made of iron may suggest that it was produced during a time of economic scarcity or conflict.
