Comment
The 1952 issue is one of the rarest coins of the communist era - only a very small number released shortly before the monetary reform on January 26/27, 1952.Interesting fact
The 2 Lei coin from Romania, minted between 1951 and 1952, was made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight metal. Despite its small weight of 0.84 grams, the coin still maintained its value as a medium of exchange in Romania during that time. This is a unique feature compared to other coins from the same time period, which were often made of more valuable metals like silver or gold.
