Catalog description

This silver 50 bani belongs to Carol I’s late first-leu coinage of 1894–1901. Brussels and Hamburg issues show that several mints could produce the same Romanian type. The small silver denomination was convenient for daily payments while retaining bullion value. Its purchasing power varied by year and locality.
