Interesting fact

The Pattern 100 Lei coin was designed by Romanian artist and engraver, Ioan Bolborea, and it features a unique pattern that showcases a blend of traditional Romanian motifs and modern design elements. The brass plating gives the coin a distinctive golden color that sets it apart from other coins in the series. Additionally, the coin's relatively low mintage of 50,000 pieces makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
