Additional information

Issued as part of Romania's Olympic series ahead of the 1996 Atlanta Games, this coin commemorates a sport in which Romanian crews had built one of the most dominant records in Olympic rowing history — winning multiple gold medals across the 1980s and early 1990s, particularly in women's events. The program was state-funded and intensely organized under Ceaușescu, and its athletes continued competing at the highest level well after the regime's collapse in 1989.

KM#132 was struck in a limited proof issue and saw no circulation use.
