50 bani coin Moldova

50 Bani (Issued 1993)

The 50 bani coin dates from the first coinage of the Republic of Moldova, issued in 1993 when the leu was introduced, with 100 bani to the leu. Struck in a light alloy with a pale silver-grey finish, it served as a middle fractional denomination in the early circulating series. The coin is round with a plain edge and carries the national emblem and value in the style established at independence.

On the obverse, the coat of arms of Moldova is displayed, with the eagle holding a cross in its beak and a shield on its breast bearing the aurochs head with a star between the horns, together with a rose and crescent. The surrounding legend reads “REPUBLICA MOLDOVA”.

On the reverse, a large “50” dominates the field above the word “BANI” and the year “1993”, with the mint’s “M” monogram at the foot. Sprigs of oak leaves rise on either side of the numeral.
