Unlisted Pattern 2 Bani

Carol I Specimen Pattern 2 Bani 1881-B SP64 Red and Brown PCGS, KM-Unl, Schäffer/Stambuliu-Unl. "REGE AL" in legend. An obscure Pattern, purportedly unique, displaying an alternative obverse design for the 1881 2 Bani. The rejected design seen here with "REGE AL" in the legend was replaced with the approved business design which uses "DOMNUL" in the obverse legend. We note a similar difference can be seen on the two Leu types from this year (cf. Schäffer/Stambuliu-27 and 28). The offering touts a tortoise shell patina with beautiful originality shining through, making for exceptional viewing in person. We note some striated planchet imperfections for completeness, a moot point given the originality of this Specimen. A rare find for the an advanced cabinet.
