| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing uniformed bust of King Carol I, depicted in military dress with elaborate decorations, epaulettes, and a high collar, rendered in fine relief with considerable detail in the beard and uniform. The effigy is the work of engraver A. Michaux, whose signature appears in the lower field. The circumferential legend reads CAROL I REGE AL ROMANIEI flanked by the regnal dates 1866 and 1906, commemorating the monarch's forty-year reign. A fine dentilated border frames the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Produced for the 1906 Jubilee Exhibition in Bucharest, which marked forty years of Carol I's reign, this pattern was part of a broader series of trial and fantasy denominations struck in various metals to commemorate the occasion. The 12½ lei face value had no practical monetary application — Romania's circulating coinage of the period ran to round denominations — making this a prestige piece from the outset rather than a failed circulation proposal.
White metal patterns from this series vary considerably in surface quality and die sharpness, as they were struck in small numbers under exhibition rather than production conditions.
