The star variety (KM#84.2) distinguishes this piece from the nearly identical KM#84.1 struck the same year — the difference lying in a small five-pointed star incorporated into the reverse field, a detail tied to Romania's alignment with Soviet heraldic conventions during the early People's Republic period. Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej's government was in the process of systematically replacing pre-communist imagery across all state symbolism, and minor die modifications like this one reflect incremental ideological housekeeping rather than any single dramatic reform.
