By clicking in the "contract" tab you can read the code. Click on Read Contract and see the Initial_Reward field. The initial reward was 168 Spring tokens, but the number is written with 18 zeroes because it is given in "Wei" units.
Wei is the smallest denomination of Ether (ETH) on the Ethereum network, named after cryptographer Wei Dai; one Ether equals one quintillion (10¹⁸) Wei, making Wei essential for precise transaction fees (gas) and microtransactions, similar to how a Satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin. It allows for granular calculations, preventing rounding errors in the complex operations of smart contracts and decentralized finance
