| Obverse description | A central portrait vignette of footballer Daniel Pancu is flanked on either side by the Rapid Bucharest club emblem and the BFR (Banca Fantezistă a României) logo. The face value of 100 Lei is rendered in both numerals and words, with the issuing authority's name and the issue date of 1 December 2024 inscribed around the central vignette. An underprint records the club's principal honours — three Romanian championship titles, thirteen Romanian Cup wins, four Romanian Super Cups, two Balkan Cups, and one European Railway Championship — alongside the designer credit for Dani Crisan. |

Fantasy notes issued under fictional bank names occupy a narrow collector niche — part satirical object, part graphic design exercise. This one was produced in 2024 by designer Dani Crisan, whose work in Romanian football-themed notaphily has built a small but dedicated following. The "Rapid" reference ties it to Fotbal Club Rapid București, one of Romania's most historically turbulent clubs, whose identity carries enough cultural weight to anchor a piece like this without further explanation to any Romanian collector.
No legal tender status, no central bank backing. Collects as ephemera.
