Romania has a long history of wonderful coins. In October a rare 1939 Romanian 100 Lei will go up for auction, small preview via Coin Update, estimate is $101,000. Also a new Romanian coin law just passed to honor novelist Marin Preda with three dates; birth, death, and year.
Now this one from my vault has been demonetized and would have been worth $140 if the exchange was applied, oh well maybe they will remonetize (Firefox is telling me that is not a real word) it someday.
The edge on this thick coin has ♦ ROMANIA ♦ ROMANIA ♦ ROMANIA and in this one what seems to be a bit of doubling. Well maybe a weak first strike but if you look carefully on the first edge image there is a faint second impression of the word ROMANIA. I am not sure what to call that but I doubt it brings any extra value. These are aluminum coins made in unknown amounts and not much interest in errors.
Still hopefully interest in Romanian coins will grow and one day I will toss this up on eBay as a super rarity. Probably not.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 500 Lei / Romania
Year: 1999
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Aluminum
Value: $0.35 in VF

I was in Romania in 1999. The local currency was pretty much worthless then. I have two 500 lei coins and three 100 lei coins from earlier in the 90s, along with a 1998 note for 1000 lei. Since they were worthless then, their value can't increase much.

ReplyDeleteNot necessarily true, since they are no longer issued they are now limited. That means if a census is done and very few are found in circulation or in high grade they may increase in value.
But in general I agree with you, it will probably stay low for a long time.
I have a 1941 Romanian 500 Lei coin. It's in decent condition.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea whether it has any current value at all - I found it in my late father's "Tin of Mysteries and Treasures" as he liked to call it.
Any information about it would be great.
