Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique feature - a hidden security detail. The coin contains a micro-text inscription of the Latin phrase "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (Shame be upon him who thinks evil of it), which is only visible under ultraviolet light. This adds an extra layer of security and authenticity to the coin, making it a truly special and valuable collector's item.
