| Comments |
The Liga pentru Unitatea Culturală a Tuturor Românilor — the League for the Cultural Unity of All Romanians — was a Bucharest-based irredentist organization founded in 1890, dedicated to the cultural and eventual political integration of Romanian populations living under Austro-Hungarian rule in Transylvania, Bukovina, and elsewhere. This lottery ticket was issued in 1911 to fund the construction of a dedicated headquarters, a building the League badly needed as its activities expanded in the years before the First World War upended the entire project of Romanian unification.
The engraver credit reading "Liga pentru unitatea culturală" almost certainly indicates in-house or locally arranged production rather than a dedicated printing firm.
