Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Leu - Carol I (Pattern Strike) 1910 from Romania made of Zinc is a rare and unique coin that was never circulated. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a trial or sample coin to test the design and production process, but it was never officially released into circulation. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
