More Romanian Lovelies

Romanian banknotes date to 1877, when Romania was just gaining a national identity once again after hundreds of years of Ottoman Turk rule. Beginning with WWI Romania redesigned many banknotes, this design dates to 1914, but was issued as late as 1938. The dominant agricultural economy of Romania is portrayed with the imagery of the farmer's wife with distaff, and a woman and child picking apples on the reverse. This note is P-19.

As seen above, women and agriculture were portrayed prominently on Romanian banknotes, this is a 500 Lei from 1942 with a lovely castle scene on the reverse. This note is P-51.

The Romanian People's Republic changed currency several times, calling in old for new in 1947, and again in 1952 and 1966. This note was the last issued with a female as the central vignette subject of the note. Notice the construction of the dam on the reverse. This note is P-83.
