Catalog description

This aluminium 5000 lei belongs to Romania’s final third-leu coinage of 2001–2006. Die alignments, signature differences and proof issues reveal an extensive minting programme before the monetary change. The high denomination resulted from inflation rather than high metal value. Its purchasing power changed rapidly and depended on year and locality.
