Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that Orichalcum, the metal it is made of, is a legendary metal that was believed to be used in the construction of the mythical city of Atlantis. While the existence of Atlantis is still a topic of debate, the use of Orichalcum in the coin's minting process adds a touch of mystique to its history.
