Interesting fact

The Pattern 200 Lei - Carol II (Pattern Strike) 1935 is a rare and unique coin that was minted in Romania during the reign of King Carol II. It is made of silver and features an image of the king on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was never officially released into circulation, and instead was only produced as a pattern strike, meaning it was created as a test or sample coin for the Romanian government to consider for use as a regular issue coin. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
