Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. This makes it unusual compared to other coins of the time, which were often made of more durable materials like copper or silver. Despite this, the zinc used in the production of this coin was likely chosen for its low cost and abundance, as well as its ability to be easily shaped and stamped with the desired design.
