Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique feature - a hidden security element. When viewed under ultraviolet light, the coin reveals a hidden image of a rose, which is not visible to the naked eye. This adds an extra layer of security and authenticity to the coin, making it even more valuable and sought after by collectors.
