Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Bani - Carol I (Pattern Strike) 1905 is a rare and unique coin that was minted in Romania during the reign of King Carol I. It is made of white metal, which is a type of alloy that is composed of nickel, copper, and zinc. The use of white metal in coinage was a common practice in Europe during the early 20th century, as it was seen as a more affordable alternative to traditional metals like gold and silver. However, the use of white metal in Romanian coinage was short-lived, and the Pattern 10 Bani - Carol I (Pattern Strike) 1905 is one of the few coins that were minted using this material. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
