Catalog description

This nickel-clad steel 5 lei belongs to Romania’s late third-leu issues of 1992–2005. Numerous circulation dates and later proofs document economic transformation and the growth of collector-oriented minting. A high face value did not imply stable purchasing power during this inflationary period. Its real value depended mainly on year and locality.
