| Reverse description | Large denomination numeral '15' occupies the upper field, with the word 'BANI' in bold capitals beneath it. The central device is framed by a wreath of stylized laurel branches, tied at the base with a small ribbon clasp, their stems rising symmetrically on either side to enclose the denomination. The overall design is clean and uncluttered, with no additional legend in the field. |

| Additional information |
Romania's aluminium small-denomination coins of the 1970s were a direct response to the Ceaușescu regime's industrialization priorities — metals with strategic or export value were being redirected away from domestic coinage. The switch to aluminium for these low-value pieces was purely about resource allocation under a command economy that treated copper and nickel as too valuable to strike into 15 bani.
