About this banknote
The Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of Romania issued the 1 leu banknote in 1952. The official issuance date was January 26, 1952, though the banknote itself bears only the year "1952."
The obverse features brown printing on a light orange underprint, with the text "REPUBLICA POPULARA ROMANA" and "MINISTERUL FINANTELOR" prominently displayed. The reverse showcases the national coat of arms at the center. This specific variant, Pick 81a, is distinguished by red serial numbers and was printed by Goznak in the USSR. These red serial number notes are considered rare compared to the more common blue serial number variants printed in Romania.
