One hundred thousand lei (Romanian coin)

The one hundred thousand lei was the largest-denomination coin ever issued in Romania.

It was minted only in 1946, to mark the end of World War II the previous year.

On the bottom right of the reverse was the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Romania.

Counterfeit versions of the coin were also produced on materials of a lower value than silver and thus weigh 18.36 g instead of 25.

However, the counterfeits were produced within the mint, a practice which had been frequent in Romania since the end of the First World War.
