| Comments |
Casa de Economii și Consemnațiuni issued these bonds as part of Romania's Soviet-modeled state savings infrastructure, where the CEC functioned less as a conventional bank and more as a compulsory channel for capturing household liquidity. During the 1950s, workers were frequently pressured — through workplace campaigns — to subscribe to state bond series whether or not they did so voluntarily.
The broad 1952–1965 dating window reflects the absence of printed dates on individual bonds, making precise issue-year attribution dependent on archival lot records rather than the notes themselves.
