| Obverse description | The Socialist Republic of Romania state coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a forested mountain landscape with a rising sun, an oil derrick, and wheat sheaves flanking the composition, all surmounted by a five-pointed star. The arms are rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The circular legend REPUBLICA SOCIALISTA ROMANIA arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin lettering, with the date 1982 (or 1983) divided across the lower left field. The denomination 500 LEI appears prominently along the lower border, and the fineness statement 900/1000 FINE GOLD is inscribed in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic battle scene rendered in high relief depicts a group of Dacian warriors engaged in close combat, armed with falx (curved sickle-swords), shields of various forms, and clubs. The figures are shown in vigorous motion, conveying martial energy and the fighting spirit of the ancient Dacian state. The circular legend, separated by raised dot ornaments, reads 2050 ANI DE LA CREAREA STATULUI DAC CENTRALIZAT SI INDEPENDENT 1980, arcing around the full periphery of the coin in Latin script. The deeply mirrored proof fields provide strong contrast to the finely detailed relief of the figural composition. |
