Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on coins from this region and time period. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to signify the coin's connection to the Christian faith and to convey the message of Christianity to the people who used it.
