Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversible design, meaning that the coin has two different sides that can be considered the "front" or "back" side, depending on how it is oriented. This was achieved through a special minting process that allowed for the creation of a bimetallic coin with a nickel brass clad nickel center in a copper-nickel ring. This design feature adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to the coin, making it stand out from other circulating commemorative coins.
