Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 bani coin from Romania, minted in 1905, was made of zinc and features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of Romania, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a peasant woman holding a sheaf of grain, symbolizing agriculture and fertility. This design was meant to represent the country's rich agricultural heritage and its commitment to the well-being of its people.
