Catalog description

This nickel-clad steel 5 bani was part of Romania’s mass small-change coinage in 1966. The layered material provided durability at lower cost than solid nickel. It served ordinary payments in the socialist-era economy. Its purchasing power was very small and depended on the year and local prices.
