Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Lei - Carol I (Essai) 1910 is a rare and unique coin, with only 500 pieces minted. It was created as a trial coin, and its design was never adopted for regular circulation. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
