Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a fencer on the obverse side, which is a unique design choice for a coin. The fencer is depicted in a dynamic pose, with their sword raised and ready to strike, giving the impression of movement and energy. This design was likely chosen to represent the spirit of competition and athleticism that fencing embodies. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and collectibility, making it a sought-after piece for coin enthusiasts.
