Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Bani - Ferdinand I (Pattern Strike) 1921 from Romania made of Brass is that it was designed by the Romanian sculptor and engraver, Dimitrie Paciurea. Paciurea was a prominent artist of the time and his work can be seen on many Romanian coins and banknotes from the early 20th century. The coin features a portrait of King Ferdinand I on one side and the Romanian coat of arms on the other, and was minted in a limited quantity as a pattern strike, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
