Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Leu - Carol I (Pattern Strike) 1906 from Romania made of Aluminium is a rare and unique coin, with only 200 pieces minted. It was created as a trial strike, and its design was never officially adopted for circulation. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists, with some specimens selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
