Interesting fact

The 50 Groschen coin from Austria, made of Aluminium bronze, has a unique feature - it has a rim that is not circular, but instead has a wavy or "crenellated" shape. This distinctive design was used on many Austrian coins during this time period and adds a touch of character to the coin.
