Comment
The 1952 mintage is very rare - only a very small number released shortly before the monetary reform on January 26/27, 1952.Interesting fact
The 1 Leu coin from Romania, minted between 1951 and 1952, was made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight metal. This made it easier to produce and handle, but it also meant that the coin was more prone to wear and tear over time. As a result, many of these coins have survived in circulation and are still used today, making them a popular collector's item for numismatists.
