Interesting fact

The 50 Bani coin was minted during the reign of King Carol I, who was the first king of Romania and ruled from 1881 until his death in 1914. The coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that featured the king's image on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice to showcase the country's wealth and economic growth during that time.
