Comment
Nihil sine Deo (Nothing without God/'s will/) was the motto of the Romanian Kingdom (1878-1947) while ruled by the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen dynasty.Some coins may look Proof, but they are just first issues with unused dies, so, details are very sharp.
Interesting fact
The 5 Bani - Carol I 1867 coin was designed by the Romanian engraver and artist, Ion Georgescu. The coin features a portrait of King Carol I on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1867 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Carol I's reign and was used as a standard circulation coin in Romania until 1881. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
