The Banknote has a nice guilloche design with Romania coat of arms, on the front is illustrated the portrait of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the first domnitor (ruler) of the Romanian Principalities through his double election as prince of Moldavia on 5 January 1859 and prince of Wallachia on 24 January 1859, which resulted in the unification of the two states; he was a prominent figure of the Revolution of 1848 in Moldavia. On the back is illustrated the Palace of Culture in Iasi, an astonishing architecture in a flamboyant Neo-Gothic style. The banknote size is 145 x 72 mm, was issued on paper with rhombuses pattern watermark by the National Bank of Romania.
