Below you can see a counterfeit coin made of bronze, present on Romanian coins through the kind permission of Mr. Adrian Popovici. A good share of the fakes introduced on the market in the period between the two World Wars and during the Second World War were manufactured inside the very Romanian State Mint, with the very original dies. Several common metals and alloys were used. Most often encountered are the bronze and lead fakes.
