Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Leu - Carol I (Pattern Strike) 1906 from Romania made of Gold plated bronze is a rare and unique coin, with only 500 pieces minted. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design. The coin features King Carol I of Romania on the obverse and the Romanian coat of arms on the reverse. The use of gold plating on bronze gives the coin a distinctive look and adds to its rarity and value. This coin is highly sought after by collectors and numismatists, and it is considered a valuable addition to any collection of rare and unusual coins.
