Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Lei - Ferdinand I (Pattern Strike) 1922 from Romania made of Nickel is that it was designed by the Romanian sculptor and engraver, Dimitrie Paciurea. Paciurea was a prominent artist of the time and his designs were highly regarded for their beauty and detail. The coin features a portrait of King Ferdinand I on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other, and its nickel composition makes it stand out from other coins of the time which were typically made of gold, silver, or copper.
