Interesting fact
The 10 Lei coin featuring four Olympic scenes from Romania in 1996 was part of a larger collection of coins issued to commemorate the Summer Olympics held in Atlanta, Georgia that year. The coin's design features four different scenes from various Olympic sports, including athletics, gymnastics, swimming, and basketball. This coin is unique in that it has a nickel plating, which gives it a distinctive silver-colored appearance, and it weighs 4.65 grams, making it a bit heavier than a standard coin. Additionally, as a non-circulating coin, it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item for coin enthusiasts and Olympic memorabilia collectors.
