At the event opening, the Governor of the central bank, Octavian Armașu, noted: „the liaison between the past and present reflects the commemorative and jubilee coins, via numismatic perpetuity that makes us to perceive them more as a cultural-historical approach, of national authentication – by their messages and of promotion of the image of the Republic of Moldova abroad. These pieces of money art constitute also a precious document about the economic, artistic, literal, architectural realities lived by our predecessors and that we are living at present.”
Hereinafter, the guest of honour, the NBM first governor, Leonid Talmaci, made an incursion into the history of the Moldovan leu introduction over 26 years and its experience of collaboration with the author the national currency design, Gheorghe Vrabie – painter and graphic designer, to whom is dedicated one of these 14 commemorative and jubilee coins, 2019 issuance.
At the same time, the Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Moldova, Ion Sturzu, referred to multidimensional destination of the commemorative and jubilee coins: „For some people it constitutes a hoarding modality, for others it is a numismatic approach or money art piece, while for someone it simply has a sentimental signification. This multidimension makes us to perceive deeper the value of coins.”
