| Obverse description | Central field features the quartered arms of the United Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, depicting a rampant eagle and an aurochs head in the respective quarters, surmounted by a princely crown. The shield is flanked by supportive mantling. The surrounding legend reads ALEXANDRU JOAN D. MOLD. SI WALACH., referencing Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza as ruler of both Moldavia and Wallachia. The design is executed in a refined neoclassical style consistent with the work of the Paris Mint engraver Albert Désiré Barre. |
