The one leu banknote is the smallest circulating denomination of the Romanian leu. It is the same size as the 5 Euro banknote.
The main color of the banknote is green. It pictures, on the obverse Prime-minister and historian Nicolae Iorga, and on the reverse the Curtea de Argeş Cathedral, which suffered a massive restoration under his Government, and a crossed eagle, the Wallachian traditional heraldic element.
History
In the past, the denomination was also in the coin form. Most recently between 1960 and 2005.
