This bound is also attained by the quotient of the Shimura curve X_0^58(97) by the group generated by the Atkin-Lehner involutions w_2 and w_2716. See Pietro Mercuri, Oana Padurariu, Frederick Saia, and Claudio Stirpe: "Point counts, automorphisms, and gonalities of Shimura curves," arXiv:2507.15992 [math.NT].
