The plate design for this note was created by Georges Duval and engraved by Léon Henri Ruffe — both associated with the French security printing trade — which dates the original artwork to well before the First World War. Yet the same plates remained in continuous use across nearly two decades of Romanian monetary history, spanning the Belle Époque, the war years, the occupation of Bucharest by the Central Powers in 1916–1918, and into the stabilization period of the late 1920s. That unbroken run of dated signature combinations, from Carp in 1910 through Burillianu in 1929, is itself an unusual record of institutional continuity under extreme pressure.
The printed date of 30 April 1945 refers to a later overprinting or revalidation exercise, not original issue — a distinction that matters considerably for dating individual specimens.
