Interesting fact
The 25 Bani coin from Romania, minted between 1953 and 1954, features a unique design element - a star - that was added to the coin's obverse (front side) to commemorate the country's transition from a monarchy to a socialist republic. This design change was a result of the political shift in Romania after World War II, and the coin's design was meant to reflect the country's new socialist ideals.
