Catalog description

This aluminium 1 leu was issued in 1951–1952 at the end of Romania’s second-leu period. Its light metal suited the post-war policy of inexpensive coin production. The dates document a short transitional stage in Romania’s monetary system. Its purchasing power was limited and depended on local conditions.
