Interesting fact

The coin was designed by Romanian artist and sculptor, Ioan Bolborea, and features a stylized image of a child holding a small globe, surrounded by the inscription "UNICEF" and the Romanian coat of arms. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the importance of protecting and supporting children's rights and well-being, which is at the core of UNICEF's mission.
