Comment
King Carol II (Life:1893-1958) (Reign:1930-1940)Interesting fact
The 1 Leu coin from Romania was designed by the artist Ion Jalea, who was a prominent sculptor and medalist in Romania during the early 20th century. Jalea's design for the coin features a portrait of King Carol II on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the Romanian coat of arms surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The coin was minted in nickel brass and weighs 2.75 grams. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
