Comment
https://www.allnumis.com/coins-catalog/romania/trial-strikes-1901-present/pattern-100-lei-1984-30643Interesting fact
The Pattern 100 Lei coin was designed by Romanian artist and engraver, Ioan Bolborea, and it features an image of a canal lock on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1984 to commemorate the inauguration of the Danube-Black Sea Canal, a major infrastructure project that was completed in 1984 after 20 years of construction. The canal connects the Danube River to the Black Sea, allowing for easier navigation and transportation of goods between Europe and Asia. The coin's design and the event it commemorates are both significant in Romanian history and culture, making it a unique and interesting collector's item.
