Comment
Stamb-009-1.2Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Lei coin from Romania, minted in 1921, was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Aluminum was not commonly used in coinage until the mid-20th century, so this coin is a rare example of an early use of aluminum in coin production.
