Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversed legend, which means that the characters on the coin are arranged in a way that is the opposite of how they would typically be written. This feature, along with the presence of dots on the coin, helps to distinguish it from other coins of the same period and denomination.
