Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Leu - Carol I (Pattern Strike) 1906 from Romania made of Brass is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official coinage of Romania. The pattern coin was minted in 1906 as a trial strike, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different design. As a result, this coin is considered a rare and collectible item among numismatists, with only a limited number of examples known to exist.
