Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a cross symbol - which is not commonly found on coins from the Principality of Chach. This suggests that the coin may have been issued during a specific period or for a particular occasion, and its rarity could make it a valuable addition to a coin collection.
