| Obverse description | Central vignette of a red Dacia 1300 sedan rendered in full colour against a multicolour guilloche underprint of interlocking geometric patterns in blue, red, and yellow — evoking the Romanian tricolour. A circular UAP eagle emblem appears within a diamond-shaped guilloche medallion to the right of the car, with the BFR monogram cartouche above it and a small Romanian tricolour flag accent. The denomination "100 LEI" is printed in the lower-left corner within a circular frame, the inscription "UNA SUTA LEI" appears across the centre, and the legend "DACIA 1300" runs along the lower portion; a secondary thumbnail vignette of the Dacia 1300 is placed in the lower-right corner, with the designer's name "Dani Crisan" in script below the main vignette. |

| Comments |
Fantasy notes occupy a peculiar niche — neither forgeries nor games, but deliberate parallel currencies that comment on the real thing. The BFR series, designed by Dani Crisan, centers on the Dacia 1300, the Romanian-built sedan that rolled off the Pitești assembly line from 1969 onward under a Renault 12 licensing agreement that Ceaușescu rebranded as a homegrown industrial triumph. The car became inseparable from late socialist Romania's self-image.
The watermark inclusion on a privately issued fantasy piece is an unusual production choice — more effort than most such items bother with.
