Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique 1/4 oz gold weight, which is not commonly used in coin production. Most coins are minted in standard weights such as 1 oz, 1/2 oz, or 1/10 oz, but this coin's 1/4 oz weight makes it stand out from other coins. Additionally, the use of .9999 fine gold in the coin's composition adds to its value and rarity.
