Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Bani coin from Romania, made of silver in 1905, features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Romania. Instead, it was used as a pattern coin, which was a trial design created to test the minting process and the public's reaction to the proposed design. This coin's rarity and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item among numismatists.
