The coin's design includes an image of a peasant woman on the obverse side and the Romanian coat of arms on the reverse side, surrounded by intricate details and patterns. The use of brass in the coin's minting process adds to its unique character and historical significance, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
