Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Lei - Carol I (Pattern Strike) 1910 from Romania made of Aluminium is a rare and unique coin, with only 200 pieces minted. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was also unusual, as most coins at the time were made of more traditional metals like gold, silver, or copper. This coin's rarity and unique features make it highly sought after by collectors and numismatists.
