| Additional information |
Romania's monetary committee spent much of 1904–1905 evaluating alternative compositions for small-denomination coinage, with aluminium bronze among several alloys tested against nickel and straight copper. The 1905 pattern series, of which KM#Pn60 and its variants form a distinct subset, were struck at the Monnaie de Paris under contract — Romania lacking sufficient domestic striking capacity for experimental runs at the time.
None of these compositions were adopted for the 10 bani denomination in circulation issues of that period.
