| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Romanian military aviation, this coin commemorates Aurel Vlaicu, the engineer and pilot who built and flew his own aircraft designs beginning in 1910 — one of the earliest such achievements in Europe. Vlaicu died in 1913 when his self-built Vlaicu II crashed near Băneşti during an attempt to cross the Carpathians.
