Interesting fact

The 2000 Lei - Mihai I 1946 coin from Romania features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin was minted in 1946 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of King Mihai I's reign, but it was quickly withdrawn from circulation after the Communist takeover of Romania in 1948. As a result, the coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
