Catalog description

This gold 100 lei is the highest denomination in the 1906 group commemorating forty years of Carol I’s reign. Its large flan and high gold fineness emphasized the importance of the anniversary and the stability of the monarchy. The limited recorded mintage gives it particular significance in collections of Romanian gold. Its purchasing power was very high but varied by year and locality.
