Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Lei - Carol I (Essai) 1914 is a rare and unique coin that was minted in 1914 as a trial strike, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a test for a potential new coin design. It features King Carol I of Romania on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other. The coin is made of silver and has a low mintage, with only 500 pieces produced, making it highly sought after by collectors.
