Comment
Menzel: EEEInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of porcelain, which is a unique material for coins. Porcelain is a type of ceramic material that is known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear, making it an unusual choice for a coin that was intended to be used in circulation. The use of porcelain for this coin may have been a deliberate choice to make it stand out or to commemorate a special occasion.
