Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it has a unique feature - a silver piedfort, which means that the coin has been struck on a thicker than usual planchet, giving it a distinctive weight and feel. This feature is a nod to the tradition of minting piedforts, which were originally produced as trial strikes for the mint's engravers to test their dies, but have since become highly sought after by collectors. The use of a silver piedfort for this coin adds an extra layer of collectibility and exclusivity to an already special coin.
