Interesting fact
The Golden Eagle coin was designed by Romanian artist and engraver, Ioan Bolborea, and it features a majestic golden eagle with outstretched wings, perched on a rocky cliff overlooking the Carpathian Mountains. The eagle is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and durability, and the coin's obverse side features the Romanian coat of arms. The Pattern 50 Lei coin was minted in 2002 as a proof coin, with a limited mintage of only 5,000 pieces, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
