Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of King Carol I, who ruled Romania from 1881 until his death in 1914. The reverse of the coin depicts a map of the Danube-Black Sea Channel, which was a major infrastructure project that was completed in 1984, three years before the coin was minted. The channel connects the Danube River to the Black Sea, and it has played an important role in Romania's economy and trade. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
