Interesting fact

The 5 Bani coin from 1963 was the first coin to feature the image of King Carol II, who ruled Romania from 1930 to 1940. The coin was minted during a time of political turmoil in Romania, as the country was transitioning from a monarchy to a socialist republic. Despite this, the coin still features the royal coat of arms and the image of King Carol II, making it a unique and interesting piece of Romanian history.
