Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Bani coin was designed by the Romanian artist and engraver, Ion Ionescu-Dumitrescu. He was a prominent artist in Romania and was known for his work in coin design, sculpture, and medallic art. The coin's design features the Romanian coat of arms on one side and the denomination and year on the other. The use of nickel-plated steel for the coin's composition was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable and durable alternative to solid nickel. Despite its relatively low value, the Pattern 10 Bani coin is a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
