Comment
With textured fields to both sides.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique textured design on its fields, which adds a distinctive touch to its appearance. The textured design is created through a process called "reeding," which involves engraving small grooves or ridges onto the surface of the coin. This technique not only adds visual interest to the coin but also helps to prevent counterfeiting. The textured fields on this coin are particularly noteworthy because they are made of 99.99% fine gold, which is a high level of purity that is prized by collectors and investors. Overall, the combination of the coin's unique design, high gold content, and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collectible item.
