Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period, but it weighed 2.15g, which is slightly heavier than the standard weight for coins of that era. This could indicate that the coin was used for a specific purpose or had a higher value than other coins in circulation.
