Honorific issue offered by the manufacturer to the issuer’s representatives (elected officials, notables...). Some mintage may exceed one hundred (Elie 2003 p. 9).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1921 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather as a collector's item.
