Aanvullende informatie

Romania's monetary system was barely two years old when this pattern was struck — the leu had only been formally established in 1867, modeled on the Latin Monetary Union framework. Carol I, freshly installed as hereditary prince following the ousting of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, was still in the process of asserting dynastic legitimacy, and coinage carried obvious political weight in that effort. Pattern strikes of this period were often produced in multiple metals to present options to the nascent monetary authority, with white metal serving as a neutral proof-of-concept material rather than a proposed circulation alloy.
