Interesting fact

This coin is extremely rare and valuable, with only 30 pieces known to exist. It was minted in 1886 as a trial strike, and the wooden material was likely chosen as a cost-saving measure. Despite its small weight, the coin is highly sought after by collectors and has sold for thousands of dollars at auction.
