Ah yes...2 of my most difficult acquisitions. I'm not quite sure, but the one on the left, if you found it on Romainiacoins.com, is MY contribution to that site. The story came up here before (because I brought it up) but the coin on the right, silver, is a legitimate issue. The one on the left, made of TOMBAC, has a curious and mysterious background because supposedly it was never minted. Possibly mint officials playing around?? Anyway, there are estimated to be 15 or so known, and my efforts to get the "real story" have not been successful. When i wrote the Romanian mint, i received a rather surprising reply that they did not authorize their minting and that it should never have left the mint. A trial strike? Now, other Romanian sets have been issued with a gold, silver and tombac strike but the tombac one below (is it Emenescu or Porembescu...I'm too tired to go check) is a head scratcher. Not a terribly expensive piece...either the silver or Tombac...low demand I guess...but hard as heck to find...I believe there is one on E-Bay (silver) now but already have it.
Would love details if anyone can help.
