Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Lei coin was designed by the Romanian sculptor and engraver, Costin Petrescu, and it features a portrait of King Ferdinand I on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Romanian coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1922, during a time of great political and social change in Romania, as the country was transitioning from a monarchy to a republic. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
