Description:


22.03.2019 The National Bank of Moldova puts a mint set into numismatic circulation. 

The mint set is issued in the form of a booklet, fixed into a cardboard box, which consists of two 2018 metal coins  in use with the face value of MDL 1, 2, 5 and 10 . The set is sealed in transparent blister packs made of plastic.

The metal coins included in the set are accepted as means of payment in the Republic of Moldova, at their face value.

The coins of 1 and 2 lei are manufactured out of nickel-plated steel and have a silver tint. Those of 5 and 10 lei are manufactured out of steel, coated with nickel and copper, which gives them a bimetallic appearance: a silvery centre surrounded by a golden-colour ring for the 5-lei coin and respectively, a golden-colour centre surrounded by a silvery ring for the 10-lei coin. 

Each coin has a different weight, diameter and thickness.

On the reverse side, at the top, the coins bear a monogram of the capital letters „R” and „M” – the acronym of the country’s name - "the Republic of Moldova". The monogram is engraved using a holographic technique. The letters "R" and "M" become visible alternately when the coin is rotating to left or right. The micro-etchings with the “NBM” legend are applied on the digits’ surface. 

By putting together the four coins, ( first photo) one obtains on the obverse side the stylised image of the coat of arms of the Moldavian Principality, inserted in a quatrefoil, combining medieval heraldic elements: the aurochs’ head, seen frontally, with;

  • The crescent - on the 1-leu coin,
  • The sun – on the 2-lei coin,
  • The star, the princely crown above the aurochs’ horns and the heraldic rose – on the 5-lei coin, and
  • The princely dynastic shield – on the 10-lei coin.
On the reverse side, the assembling of coins recreates the State coat of arms of the Republic of Moldova
