Interesting fact
The 50 Bani coin from 1955-1956 was the first coin to feature the image of King Carol II, who had recently been reinstated as the head of state after the fall of the communist regime. This coin was a significant departure from the previous communist-era coins, which had featured images of workers, farmers, and other symbols of the socialist state. The introduction of King Carol II's image on the coin was seen as a symbol of Romania's shift towards a more democratic and monarchical system.
