Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a person walking left, which is a unique design element for a coin. Most coins feature images of people or animals facing forward or in profile, but the image of a person walking left adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the coin's design. Additionally, the use of bronze as the material for the coin adds to its historical significance, as bronze was a common material used for coins in ancient times.
