The current 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 current 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.
In the past, the denomination was also in the coin form, as follows:
First leu (1867-1947)
Second leu (1947-1952)
Third leu - ROL(1952-2005)
Fourth leu - RON (since 2005)
