The most important and rarest Romanian circulating silver coin, with an issue of only 12,476 copies. The coin presents exceptional details, both on the obverse and on the reverse, being almost uncirculated, examples in similar storage conditions being extremely hard to find in collections, and very rarely appear for sale. Similar pieces were auctioned off for significant amounts, the pieces becoming increasingly difficult to sell, these coins being set in collections, both in collections from Romania and abroad. Thus, similar 2 lei coins from 1901, were sold in the last 3 years, at several auction houses worldwide, in Feb. 2022 at the WAG auction house in Germany a similar coin was sold for 36,000 eur (including the auction house fees), in Dec. 2022 at Pegasus Auctions in Sweden it was sold for 48,000 eur (including the auction house fees), and at the Heritage auctions in the USA for 46,000 usd (including the auction house fees) in Aug. 2024.
