Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Leu coin was designed by Romanian artist and engraver, Ioan Bolborea, and it features a unique pattern that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. The obverse of the coin depicts the Romanian coat of arms, while the reverse features a stylized image of a peasant woman wearing a traditional Romanian costume, surrounded by intricate geometric patterns and foliage. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's transition towards a market-based economy and its commitment to preserving its cultural traditions.
