| Additional information |
Romanian pattern coinage from this period reflects the monetary committee's extended deliberations over a redenomination that had been politically contentious since the late 1990s. The 5000 Lei face value was ultimately rendered obsolete when Romania finally executed its redenomination in 2005, collapsing 10,000 old Lei to 1 new Leu — making patterns struck at this denomination a footnote to a currency reform that took nearly a decade to finalize.
