Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the balled trilobe and quadrilobe. This design feature is a result of the coin's minting process, where the dies used to stamp the coin were not perfectly aligned, resulting in a slightly irregular shape. This irregularity has become a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin and adds to its unique charm and historical significance.
