ROMANIA. Gold Medallic 20 Lei, 1944. NGC MS-62.
Fr-21; KMX-M13; S&S-129. Struck to honor the 'three Romanian kings'. Bright and flashy, and with a rather brilliant texture, this charming Mint State example is from a Romanian issue that is fast waxing in popularity due to the combination of its gold content and numismatic significance.

During 1944, Romania underwent severe economic and social distress prior to when the Soviets invaded, entering Bucharest on the 30 August. King Michael I had launched a coup to join the Allies only seven days before Bucharest was captured.

Estimate: $400 - $500
