Interesting fact
The Pattern 25 Bani coin was designed by the Romanian artist and engraver, Constantin Popovici. He was a prominent artist in Romania and his designs were used on many coins and banknotes throughout the country's history. The coin features a star on the obverse side, which was a symbol of the communist regime that ruled Romania at the time. The coin was never issued for circulation, but it was minted in small quantities as a pattern coin for collectors.
