| Obverse description | Central field features the Romanian national coat of arms — a displayed eagle bearing a shield quartered with the emblems of the historic Romanian provinces, holding a cross in its beak — set within a decorative quatrefoil lozenge of finely engine-turned horizontal lines. The date 1999 is divided to either side of the central device. The legend ROMANIA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 LEI curves along the lower periphery, both rendered in bold raised lettering within a plain bordered rim. |
