Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Romania, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Râmnic. The choice of Saint Andrew as the central figure on the coin is significant because he is revered as a symbol of Romania's Christian heritage and is often depicted in Romanian art and architecture.
