Stamb-54-1.9Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Bani - Carol I (Pattern) 1905 coin was designed by the Romanian sculptor and engraver, Dimitrie Paciurea. Paciurea was a prominent artist of his time and is known for his work on various coins, medals, and banknotes. The coin features a portrait of King Carol I on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other. It was minted in 1905 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype. Brass was chosen as the material for this coin due to its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for coins that are meant to last for a long time.
