Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the design. The coin was intended to show a skier performing a trick, but the design was accidentally mirrored, resulting in the skier appearing to be skiing in the opposite direction than intended. This error has become a sought-after feature among collectors, making the coin particularly unique and valuable.
