Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare error, known as the "Boat Anchor" variety. The error occurs on the reverse side of the coin, where the anchor is depicted upside down, resembling a boat. This mistake was caused by a misprint in the die-making process and is highly sought after by collectors.
