10 Lei 100 years since the establishment of the Politehnica University of Timisoara

Politehnica University of Timișoara was founded in 1920, making it one of the earliest technical universities established in Romania following the post-WWI territorial reorganization that brought Transylvania and the Banat into the Romanian state. The institution opened before Bucharest's own polytechnic had been restructured under the new national framework — a point of civic pride in Timișoara that persists to this day.
