| Additional information |
Alexandru Rosetti was a 19th-century Romanian philologist and linguist whose work on the history of the Romanian language remained a foundational academic reference well into the 20th century. The National Bank of Romania has maintained a long-running commemorative program honoring cultural and scientific figures, and Rosetti fits squarely within that tradition.
Little else is documented in public sources about the specific occasion for this 2025 issue — no anniversary year has been independently confirmed.
