Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features the image of a lynx, which is a wild cat species native to Romania. The lynx is depicted in a standing position, with its ears erect and its tail stretched out behind it. The coin's designer, Ioan Bolborea, created the image of the lynx using a unique combination of geometric shapes and lines, giving the coin a distinctive and modern look.
