20 lei 1868

I really like that the rarity of this coin is 95 but there are only 4 known coins.
3 at BNR Museum and the fourth at National History Museum.

But some of the collectors really like to show their "ultra rare coins" to someone who doesn't know very much about a country or a coin.

Exactly!
Some of us really have rare coins like that. I have some extremely rare pieces that are low mintage and some that are just rarely encountered. That listing says that around 200 exist. Wht couldnt someone here have it?

​Cause there are only 4 pieces ever known and those are in the property of museums.

According to this article the coins were handed out as presents, so it's not unlikely that a few of them found their way to numista members...
On the other hand, replicas exist also. Maybe an extra line should be added for those ?
