Overview

The coin shows the denomination '15 BANI' centrally, encircled by a laurel wreath. The reverse side (not visible) typically features the Coat of Arms of the Socialist Republic of Romania.

Historical significance

This coin was part of the currency system of Communist Romania. The denomination 'Bani' is the plural of ban, a subdivision of the Romanian Leu. Coins like this were common during the socialist era and reflect the economic conditions and state symbols of that period. They are often collected for their historical context.

Estimated value

Very low, typically less than $1 USD, unless in uncirculated condition or a rare variety. Heavily circulated or damaged examples (like the one pictured with a possible hole or damage at the top) would be worth very little to nothing beyond their face value or as a curiosity.

Care & preservation

Store in a dry, cool environment. Avoid cleaning to preserve its original patina, especially if it's an older or less common coin. Handle by the edges to prevent oils from your skin from tarnishing the surface. Use acid-free holders or albums for storage.
