Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of materials. The coin is made of Niobium, a rare earth metal that is often used in the production of specialized steel alloys, and has been locally gilded to give it a distinctive shine. This makes it stand out from other coins and adds to its collectible value.
