Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it contains a small amount of gold, which is not commonly found in silver coins. The presence of gold in the coin suggests that it may have been intentionally alloyed with gold to increase its value or to create a specific color effect. This is a unique feature that sets this coin apart from other silver coins of its time.
