Owner's Description

25 lei 1966 was used from 1966 to 1992, one of the longest series in circulation in modern times. The Banknote has a nice guilloche design with Romania coat of arms, on the front is illustrated the portrait of Tudor Vladimirescu, a great Romanian revolutionary hero, the leader of the Wallachian uprising of 1821; on the back is illustrated the Iron Works in Hunedoara, Romania being at that time one of the top steel producers in Europe. The banknote size is 140 x 70 mm, was issued on paper with rhombuses pattern watermark by the National Bank of Romania. The series ranges from 0001 to 0125. The first series were issued with narrow letter in the prefix, later, a wide letter was used. The banknote included in the set is using wide letter E. The banknote is graded 68 EPQ, it is a Top Pop banknote. Personal note: One day, during my childhood I met one of my uncles on my way to the numismatics and philately shop which gifted me a 25 lei banknote specifically to buy stamps and a stamp album. I still have that stamp album in my collection remembering my uncle great gesture.
