Catalog description

This copper-nickel 20 bani of Carol I was issued in 1900 as small change at the turn of the twentieth century. The alloy improved durability and reduced reliance on plain copper. It served small daily payments in the developing first-leu system. Its purchasing power was modest but varied by year and locality.
