Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of CEC Bank, Romania's oldest continuously operating savings institution, founded in 1864 under Alexandru Ioan Cuza as the Casa de Depuneri și Consemnațiuni. The bank survived two world wars, forced nationalization under communist rule, and multiple post-1989 restructuring attempts — a continuity rare among Eastern European financial institutions of its age.
