Engraver: H. Ionescu

Obverse

Coat of arms of the Romanian People's Republic (1952–1965), name of country and year of issue.

The coat of arms depicting a landscape (a rising sun and an oil drill) surrounded by stocks of wheat tied together with a cloth in the colors of the national flag. Between 1948 and 1966, there were three variants. The first came shortly after 1948 (the proclamation of the republic). The next was in 1952 when a red star was added. The final change to the communist emblem took place in 1966 when Romania ceased to be a People's Republic, and became a Socialist Republic. At this time, the wording changed from R. P. R. to Republica Socialista Romania.
