Comment
this coin is magneticInteresting fact
The 5 Lei coin from Romania was designed by artist Ioan Bolborea and features a depiction of the Romanian coat of arms on one side and the number 5 on the other. The coat of arms features a golden eagle holding a cross and a shield with the colors of the Romanian flag (blue, yellow, and red). The eagle is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and durability. The coin's design has remained largely unchanged since its introduction in 1992, making it a recognizable and iconic symbol of Romanian currency.
