Interesting fact

The Pattern 500 Lei coin was designed by Romanian artist and engraver, Ioan Bolborea, and it features an image of a traditional Romanian peasant woman wearing a long, flowing dress and holding a basket of flowers. The coin's design was inspired by the country's rich cultural heritage and its tradition of folk art.
