| Reverse description | The central vignette presents the she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, a celebrated Roman foundational symbol, engraved in fine detail on a pedestal set within an ornate guilloche border. The numeral 1 and the inscription LEU appear in large format at both left and right margins. A Romanian royal coat of arms with the motto NIHIL SINE DEO is positioned above the wolf group, while a cautionary anti-counterfeiting legend occupies the lower panel. |
