Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features the image of a dolphin, which is a symbol of intelligence, playfulness, and grace. The dolphin is depicted swimming in the waters of the Black Sea, which borders Romania to the east. The inclusion of the dolphin on the coin represents the country's connection to the sea and its rich marine life.
