Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Lei coin was designed by Romanian artist and engraver, Ioan Bolborea, and it features a unique pattern that showcases a combination of traditional Romanian motifs and modern design elements. The obverse side of the coin features the Romanian coat of arms, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a peasant woman wearing a traditional Romanian costume, surrounded by intricate geometric patterns and foliage. The use of nickel-plated steel for the coin's composition was a deliberate choice made by the Romanian mint to create a durable and long-lasting coin that would withstand heavy circulation and wear. Overall, the Pattern 5 Lei coin is a beautiful and unique example of Romanian numismatic art that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions.
