| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Romanian state coat of arms — a shield depicting an eagle displayed holding a cross in its beak, with a sceptre and sword in its talons, quartered with regional symbols — appears in the upper right field. A stylised radiating sun motif occupies the left and lower field, its rays rendered as bold diverging lines emanating from a central disc, which serves as the letter 'O' in the country name. The legend ROMANIA runs horizontally across the centre in large letters integrated with a horizontal band motif, with the denomination 500 LEI and the date 1999 inscribed below. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Romania issued this coin specifically to commemorate the total solar eclipse of August 11, 1999, whose path of totality crossed directly over Romanian territory — one of the last total eclipses visible from central Europe in the twentieth century. The country fell within the zone of maximum duration, making it a focal point for international observers that summer.
Aluminium was chosen deliberately, not for economy alone: the material's reflective properties were considered appropriate for a coin meant to evoke light and its absence.
