Comment
Date of issue 20-11-2009Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique oxidized finish, which gives it a distinctive darkened appearance. This was achieved through a process called "oxidation," where the silver surface is intentionally exposed to oxygen to create a layer of oxidation that enhances the coin's visual appeal. The synthetic crystal element adds an additional layer of intrigue to the coin's design, making it a truly special collector's item.
