Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a countermark, which is a secondary marking or symbol that was added to the coin after it was minted. In this case, the countermark is an eagle on the left side of the coin, accompanied by the letter "B". This suggests that the coin was issued by a regional authority or a specific group, and may have had a specific purpose or meaning. The presence of a countermark also adds to the coin's uniqueness and historical significance.
