I find a lot of 5 Francs...french and Belgian, Morgans and Peace dollars, but this is my first Romanian... Report this Post to the Staff

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 05/17/2022 5:52 pm Yeah, they are not so common I think. Nice to see one. It is interesting that king Carol calls himself "Carol I" (as if he knew there would be a Carol II - there was, but not for another half century). I don't know of any other "first" monarch including the ordinal number in his/her name. Report this Post to the Staff
