Interesting fact
The 500 Lei coin commemorating 200 years since the birth of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the first ruler of a unified Romania, features an unique design element. The coin's reverse side depicts a stylized image of Cuza, surrounded by a wreath made up of two branches, one of oak and the other of laurel. The wreath is tied at the bottom with a ribbon that bears the inscription "200 de ani de la nasterea lui Alexandru Ioan Cuza" (200 years since the birth of Alexandru Ioan Cuza). This design represents the union of the two principalities, Wallachia and Moldavia, which Cuza united to form modern-day Romania.
