Comment
Stamb-047-1.11Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Bani coin from Romania, minted in 1905, was made of tin, which is a relatively rare metal for coins. This coin was part of a series of pattern coins minted by Romania in the early 20th century, which were intended to test new designs and metallic compositions. The use of tin in this coin's minting process makes it stand out from other coins of its time, and it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
