Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Lei - Ferdinand I (Pattern Strike) 1922 from Romania made of Bronze is that it was designed by the Romanian sculptor and engraver, Dimitrie Paciurea. Paciurea was a prominent artist of the time and his work can be seen on many Romanian coins and banknotes from the early 20th century. The coin features a portrait of King Ferdinand I on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other, and was minted in 1922 as a pattern strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
