Interesting change in type with the head of Libertas, who represents Roman goddess of liberty into yellow alloy (1980-2021) in nice condition! This is not the first switch of metal alloy in the long history of the type coinage. The first one happened in 1918. Recently main groups of emission with the help of this very coin were found.
