Comment
Supposedly only two examples are known.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique grid-like design on the reverse side, which is unlike any other coin design from the same time period. This suggests that the coin may have been used for a specific purpose or had a special significance, but the exact reason behind this design is unknown.
