1942 Romania 20 Lei — WWII Kingdom Issue (Zinc)
An authentic WWII-era zinc coin of 20 Lei from the Kingdom of Romania, minted in 1942 during the reign of King Michael I.
A classic piece of wartime emergency coinage. Due to the natural chemical properties of zinc, the coin has developed a characteristic deep, dark-grey historical patina and oxidation over the decades. The design details remain fully distinct and well-preserved, showcasing the Royal Crown on the reverse and a rustic agricultural wreath of corn, wheat, and oats on the obverse.
