Interesting fact
The Collared Dove design on this coin was actually a mistake. The minting process was supposed to feature a different bird, the Arabian Ostrich, but the die engraver accidentally used the wrong design. This error was not discovered until the coins were already in circulation, making it a unique and highly sought-after collector's item.
