Description
Romania, King Carol I (1884-1914), Silver 5 Lei (24.87g, 38mm), 40th Year Anniversary of Carol I’s reign commemorative 1866-1906 AD. Obverse: Bare Head of a contemporary aged Carol I as King of Romania facing to left, date below, legend around, “CAROL I REGE AL ROMANIEI”. Reverse: Bare Head of a younger Carol I as Lord of Romania facing to left, denomination below, legend around, “CAROL I DOMNUL ROMANIEI”. KM-35; Davenport II-275. Few edge bumps, although certainly overlooked when taking into account the scarce nature of the type; with only a small mintage of 200,000, this Romanian commemorative piece is semi scarce and sought after as such. Very Fine.
