Observation: - The coin is known as Stephen with the Putna Monastery.

- The letters of the inscription on the obverse are written with a font in vogue in the years before the World Wide 2: the letter A does not have its horizontal line, was used V instead of U and the letters S, C and D are also special.

Obverse: In center, Stephen the Great and the Holy consecrating a church; inscription MOLDOVA·LUI·STEFAN·IN·VECI·A·ROMANIEI = STEPHEN'S MOLDAVIA FOREVER ROMANIAN and denomination 500 LEI.
