NAVROM — Navigația Română — was Romania's state shipping company, operating out of Constanța on the Black Sea. Like many large socialist enterprises, it issued its own scrip for use within its facilities: canteens, workers' stores, and onboard vessels where standard lei were impractical to administer. These transport company tokens in paper form occupy a narrow category that sits awkwardly between currency and coupon, and they rarely survived outside the pockets of the workers who spent them.
The repeated-text underprint was a low-cost internal security measure, common to Romanian enterprise scrip of this period, intended to deter photocopying rather than professional counterfeiting.
