Catalog description

This nickel-brass 2,000 lei of Mihai I belongs to the late first-leu coinage and is dated 1946. The very high denomination records post-war inflation and the expanding numerical scale of money. Base metal shows how far face value had moved from intrinsic metal value. Its real purchasing power depended on time, locality and the availability of goods.
