Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Bani coin from Romania, made of Nickel in 1867, features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Romania. Instead, it was used as a pattern coin, which was a trial design that was not released into circulation. This coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists.
