Catalog description

This nickel-brass 10,000 lei of Mihai I was issued in 1947 among the final first-leu coins. The very high denomination reflects the sharp decline in monetary value during the post-war period. The base-metal alloy emphasizes the practical nature of coin production under inflation. Its purchasing power depended on the exact time and locality, not simply on the face value.
