Comment
Although bearing the Romanian B (standing for Bucharest), the 2 bani corners from 1900 were struck in Hamburg.http://romaniancoins.org/2bani1900.html
Nihil sine Deo (Nothing without God/'s will/) was the motto of the Romanian Kingdom (1878-1947) while ruled by the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen dynasty.
Interesting fact
The 2 Bani - Carol I 1900 coin was designed by the Romanian sculptor and engraver, Ion Georgescu. He was a prominent artist of the time and his designs were used on many Romanian coins during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The coin features a portrait of King Carol I on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other. It's a great example of the artistic and cultural heritage of Romania during that period.
