Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the monarch's name, "John I," is spelled out in a vertical line down the center of the coin, with the letters "I" and "O" intertwined. This distinctive feature makes it easily recognizable and a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
