Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Romani coin was designed by a French engraver named Alphée Dubois, who was commissioned by the Romanian government to create a new coinage system for the country. Dubois' design features a unique blend of Romanian and French influences, with the obverse side bearing the image of a Romanian peasant woman and the reverse side featuring a stylized eagle and the coat of arms of the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's rich history and cultural heritage, and it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
