Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique gold gilding technique, known as "pad printing," which involves applying a thin layer of gold to specific areas of the coin's design, creating a striking contrast between the gold and silver elements. This process adds an extra layer of detail and visual interest to the coin, making it a truly special collector's item.
