Interesting fact
The 2 Lei coin from 1950-1951 was the first coin to feature the image of King Carol II, who had recently been reinstated as the monarch of Romania after the fall of the communist government. This coin was a significant departure from previous coins issued during the communist era, which had featured images of communist leaders and symbols. The use of King Carol II's image on the coin was seen as a symbol of Romania's shift towards a more democratic government and its desire to reconnect with its pre-communist past.
