Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it is a rare "double obverse mule" error, where both sides of the coin have the obverse (front) design, instead of one side having the obverse and the other side having the reverse (back) design. This error occurred when two obverse dies were accidentally paired together, creating a unique and highly sought-after variation among collectors.
