Additional information

Romania's silver wildlife commemorative program launched in the late 1990s drew on the country's Carpathian biodiversity as subject matter, with the chamois series among the more consistently collected. The 2002 issue coincided with Romania's active candidacy negotiations for EU accession — a period when the National Bank was simultaneously managing leu depreciation severe enough that a 50 lei face value was, in practical terms, nearly worthless in circulation.
