Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which was a substitute for the usual bronze or copper during World War I, due to the shortage of these metals. This coin was issued in 1917, and it's interesting to note that the use of zinc in coinage was not common at that time, but it was used in some countries as a war-time measure.
