The NBM Governor Anca Dragu said Moldova accession to SEPA proves that national institutions can deliver concrete results for citizens and businesses, bringing the country closer to the European financial space through modern, secure, and accessible solutions. She described the coin as a symbol of trust, consistency, and Moldova clear European direction.
The coin is minted in silver, has a nominal value of 100 lei, and a circulation of 2,500 units. Eugeniu Boico, professor at Moldova State University and creator of the Tree of Life tourism brand, designed the coin.
Licensed banks will set the selling price independently, but it may not exceed the price established by the National Bank of Moldova by more than three percent.
The commemorative coin is legal tender in the Republic of Moldova at its nominal value.
