Catalog description

This nickel-clad steel 5 bani was issued in 1963 as standard minor coinage of Romania’s third leu. The nickel layer improved resistance in frequent circulation while keeping production economical. It is a typical example of socialist-era material policy. Its purchasing power was extremely small and depended on local prices.
