Despite the large number of economic reforms and political upheavals that th...e Republic of Moldova experienced during the years of its independence, its money has changed little. The main role in the internal and external markets of the Moldavian Principality was played by foreign silver and gold coins: ducats, florins, zlotys and others. In the 17th century, the Dutch coin “leeuwendaalder”, which depicted a lion, also penetrated the Balkans and Moldova. The inhabitants of Moldova called these coins lei. In 1867, this name was given to the currency of Romania, and after the collapse of the USSR, the monetary unit of Moldova. The Bulgarian lev has exactly the same etymology.
