Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Români (Pattern) 1860 from United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (Romania) made of Gold (.900) is that it was designed by the French engraver and medalist, Alphonse-Charles Bichebois. Bichebois was a well-known artist who had worked for the French Mint and was commissioned by the Romanian government to design the coin. The coin features an image of a young woman representing Romania on one side and an image of a crowned eagle on the other. The coin was never put into circulation, but it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
