Interesting fact
The 12 Ducat - Carol II (Galben Mare) ND (1940) coin from Romania is an interesting piece of numismatic history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Romania. The coin was issued in 1940, just a year after King Carol II had abolished the Romanian Constitution and established a royal dictatorship. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still features the image of King Carol II on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other, showcasing the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
