Comment
The design elements of the coin are ItalianInteresting fact
The Pattern 1.25 Leu coin was designed by the Romanian sculptor and engraver, Costin Petrescu, and it features an image of a peasant woman holding a sheaf of grain on the obverse side, and the Romanian coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1921 as a trial piece, and only a small number of coins were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
