| Additional information |
Romania's rugby union history stretches back to 1913, making the country one of the oldest playing nations in Europe — a centennial the National Bank marked with this issue. Romania was the only non-Six Nations country to qualify for every Rugby World Cup from 1987 through 2011, a record that quietly embarrassed several far wealthier unions.
