Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Lei - Ferdinand I (Pattern Strike) 1924 from Romania made of Silver is that it was designed by the Romanian sculptor and engraver, Costin Petrescu. Petrescu was a prominent artist in Romania during the early 20th century, and his work can be found on various coins, stamps, and other art pieces from that time period. The coin features a portrait of King Ferdinand I on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other, and it was minted in a limited quantity, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
