Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique colorization technique, known as "pad printing," which allows for the application of vibrant colors onto the coin's surface. This process involves transferring ink onto the coin's metal surface using a silicone pad, resulting in a high-quality, detailed finish that enhances the coin's design. The use of pad printing has become increasingly popular in coin design, as it allows for greater creativity and visual appeal compared to traditional coinage techniques.
