| Obverse description | Central vignette of King Ferdinand I in left-facing bust portrait, dressed in military uniform with medals, set against a yellow guilloche underprint with geometric border framework. A royal crown surmounts the composition at the top, flanked by the inscription ROMANIA and MINISTERUL FANTEZIILOR, while two rampant golden lions flank a central shield bearing the numeral 25 at the base. The year 2025 and repeated denomination numerals 25 appear in circular medallions along the lateral borders, with the designer's name DANI CRISAN inscribed at lower left. |

A privately produced fantasy piece — no issuing authority, no monetary function, no legal basis. Dani Crisan designed it in 2025, and the invented issuer name "Ministerul Fanteziilor" (Ministry of Fantasies) makes the fictional nature explicit rather than deceptive, which puts it outside the scope of counterfeit legislation in most jurisdictions.
Collecting fantasy notes as a category is well-established; the more interesting ones tend to carry coherent internal logic — consistent denomination systems, plausible typography, period-appropriate design conventions. Whether this example does is the only real question worth asking.
