Moldova 1-leu commemorative declared a fake
Nov 07, 2012 07:50 AM Category: Europe | Commemorative

This note supposedly commemorates the 15th anniversary of the Moldovan leu, which was introduced on 29 November 1993. Apparently the first 150 1-leu notes dated 2006 were embossed in the Czech Republic with a gold medalion at right front containing the bank logo, the words 15 ANI (15 years), and Ştefan cel Mare.
However, the National Bank of Moldova has declared this privately produced numismatic product a fake.
