Interesting fact

The bee is crafted from a single grain of rice, and is barely visible to the naked eye, requiring a magnifying glass to see in detail. This tiny sculpture is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity, and adds an extra layer of interest and exclusivity to an already beautiful and valuable coin.
