Coat of arms of Romania surrounded with the name of the country, the year of mintage and stars.

The coat of arms of Romania is based on the Lesser Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Romania (used between 1922 and 1947), redesigned by Victor Dima. As a central element it shows a crowned eagle holding an Orthodox cross in its beak and a mace and a sword in its claws.

On the bird’s chest there is a quartered escutcheon with the symbols of the historical Romanian provinces: Wallachia (golden eagle), Moldavia and Bukovina (aurochs), Transylvania Maramureș and Crișana (black eagle, seven castles, sun and moon), Oltenia and the Banat (lion and Trajan's bridge) and two dolphins reminding of the country’s Black Sea Coast Dobruja.
