Comment
This mule strike has a French obverse and a Dutch reverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique mule design, which is a combination of the obverse (front) and reverse (back) designs of two different coins. This error occurred when a die from a different coin was accidentally used in the minting process, creating a rare and highly sought-after variation.
