| Additional information |
Romania's formal declaration as a kingdom in March 1881 triggered an immediate need to reissue coinage reflecting Carol I's new royal title. The pattern series from that year, including this 2 Bani piece, was produced to test designs before committing to full production runs — most were struck in very small numbers and distributed among officials and court favorites rather than tested in commerce.
