| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the centenary of Romania's "Great Union" of 1918, when Transylvania, Bukovina, and Bessarabia unified with the Romanian kingdom following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires. Queen Elisabeta — consort of Carol I — was a significant cultural figure under the pen name Carmen Sylva, publishing poetry and prose that earned genuine international recognition during her lifetime.
The .900 gold specification mirrors the historic fineness used for Romanian circulation gold coinage under the Latin Monetary Union, a deliberate nod to the pre-war monetary order that the centenary year implicitly invoked.
