About this banknote
The issuing authority for the 5 lei banknote was the Banca Națională a României. This series was introduced in 1917. It was part of a wartime issue partly due to the demands of World War I, which necessitated the release of new currency to support the country’s financial system during this tumultuous period.
The front side design features a farmer's wife with a distaff on the left and arms on the right, printed in violet-brown, dated February 16, 1917, similar to Pick 19. The back side showcases a woman and child picking apples in the center, with numerals of value in yellow. The watermark consists of light and dark half-spheres.
