The Pattern 1 Leu coin from Romania, minted in 1937, was designed by the renowned Romanian artist and engraver, Ion Jalea. Jalea was known for his work in creating the designs of many Romanian coins during the 20th century, and his artistry is still celebrated today. The Pattern 1 Leu coin features an image of a peasant woman on the obverse side, while the reverse side showcases the Romanian coat of arms. The use of brass in the coin's composition gives it a unique warm tone that sets it apart from other coins of its time.
