| Reverse description | The reverse bears a portrait of Queen Maria of Romania wearing a traditional Romanian blouse (ie) with altița embroidery. The queen's facsimile signature appears in the field. Two concentric inscriptions in Romanian encircle the design: the upper arc commemorates the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, while the lower arc identifies the art of the shirt with altița as an element of cultural identity. |

| Additional information |
Romania joined the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2006, among the earlier European signatories to a treaty that had only opened for ratification in 2003. The National Bank of Romania has issued commemorative silver pieces tied to UNESCO cultural themes with some regularity, making this a continuation of an established program rather than an isolated issue.
The .999 fineness places it in the bank's standard modern commemorative specification — one troy ounce of fine silver, a format that has become the international default for numismatic issues of this type since the 1980s.
