| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate Romania's experience in the Second World War, this 2015 National Bank release belongs to a long-running Romanian commemorative silver program that has addressed historically sensitive subjects with notable directness. Romania's WWII involvement remains genuinely complicated — the country fought alongside the Axis until August 1944, then switched sides following the royal coup that ousted Ion Antonescu, ultimately suffering enormous casualties on both fronts.
