Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Leu coin from Romania, made of silver in 1924, features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Romania. Instead, it was used as a sample or pattern coin, hence its name. Despite its rarity and historical significance, the coin's value is relatively affordable for collectors, making it an interesting and accessible piece of numismatic history.
