Sets of three coinsInteresting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the union of Bessarabia with Romania, which took place in 1918. Bessarabia, which is now part of Moldova and Ukraine, was annexed by Romania in 1918 and remained under Romanian rule until 1940, when it was occupied by the Soviet Union. The coin's design features an image of the Romanian coat of arms and the inscription "100 de ani de la Unirea Basarabiei cu Romania" (100 years since the union of Bessarabia with Romania).
