from http://romaniancoins.org/1leu1963.html : "The tractor represented on the coin is a UTOS tractor manufactured at BraÅŸov. Most likely it is a 45 horsepower UTOS-26, the first Romanian tractor with tires meant for ploughing, model manufactured between 1957 and 1962 at Uzina de Tractoare OraÅŸul Stalin (hence the name of the tractor), meaning Tractor Plant "Stalin City" . The city of BraÅŸov was called OraÅŸul Stalin between 1950 and 1960. UTOS tractors were manufactured under MTZ license - Minsk Tractor Plant, USSR, today in Belarus.
The same tractor appears on the 25 bani coins from 1966 and 1982, although in the meantime the BraÅŸov Tractor Plant had introduced into production more performant tractors, as U-650."
