| Comments |
INFINEX — the Institut de Finanțare Externă — was a Romanian state body established to handle financial transactions in German-occupied territories during the Second World War. These 600 Lei notes fall within the military scrip category, issued for use by Romanian forces and administrative personnel operating alongside the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front, primarily in the occupied Soviet territories of Transnistria.
The denomination itself is unusual. 600 Lei appears in no peacetime Romanian series; it was calculated against specific field allowances and local exchange rates enforced in the occupation zone rather than derived from any civilian monetary logic.
