Interesting fact

The 100 Lei (Canoe) 1996 coin from Romania is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. Despite its relatively small weight of 27 grams, the coin is made of silver (.925), which gives it a significant value among collectors. Additionally, the coin's design features a canoe, which is a unique and interesting choice for a coin, especially considering the fact that Romania is a landlocked country. This makes the coin a standout piece among other coins from Romania and adds to its collectibility.
