| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Romania's 1918 unification — the moment Transylvania, Bukovina, and Bessarabia formally joined the Romanian Old Kingdom following the collapse of Austria-Hungary — this coin is part of a broader commemorative program the National Bank launched across multiple metals and denominations throughout the centennial year. The 31.103g fine gold specification places it exactly at one troy ounce, a deliberate choice for secondary market appeal rather than any historical resonance.
