Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Lei coin was designed by the Romanian sculptor, Dimitrie Paciurea, and it features a portrait of King Ferdinand I on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Romanian coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1922 as a pattern strike, which means that it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. This makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
