| Additional information |
Romanian pattern coinage of the Carol I period was produced in multiple metals simultaneously — typically copper, silver, and white metal — to allow the monetary commission to evaluate finishes before authorizing production runs. The 1905 10 Bani patterns were never adopted; Romania continued striking the circulating 10 Bani in copper through the existing dies rather than retooling.
KM#PnB66 specifically denotes the white metal striking within what is a small family of trial pieces from this year. Surviving examples are almost exclusively cabinet coins — handled once, cataloged, and put away.
