Catalog description

This copper-nickel 20 lei belongs to the reign of Mihai I and is dated 1930. Its documented varieties include London production and issues bearing H or KN marks, illustrating Romania’s reliance on several production sources. The coin was intended for circulation rather than for a specific commemorative programme. Its economic importance must be read in the context of the interwar Romanian economy, not through a direct modern conversion.
