| Additional information |
In 2004, Romania was mid-process in a monetary reform that would culminate the following year in the redenomination of the leu at a ratio of 10,000 old lei to 1 new leu — one of the largest redenominations in post-communist European history. This pattern was struck as part of the design evaluation process for the new coinage series ahead of that transition. The oversized diameter suggests it was produced for presentation or approval purposes rather than as a genuine production prototype.
