10 Lei University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Târgu-Mureș

Issued to mark the 70th anniversary of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Târgu-Mureș, an institution founded in 1945 under Soviet-influenced educational restructuring that reorganized Romanian academia along Marxist-Leninist lines. The university was deliberately established in a city with a significant Hungarian-speaking population, a political calculation that generated ethnic tensions over language of instruction that persisted for decades.
