Additional information

The magnetic "a" variety designation distinguishes this issue from the earlier brass version — a quiet compositional shift driven by rising metal costs that forced monetary authorities across the developing world to migrate toward cheaper steel substrates in the 2000s. The brass plating preserves the appearance while the steel core makes it immediately identifiable with a magnet.
