Other than the obverse its a real nice coin !!
The swastika is not the Nazis symbol. They stole that symbol from peaceful religious sects. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being." The motif (a hooked cross) appears to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky. To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. So again fuck the Nazis but the swastika is not a bad thing
