## About this plate

THE COMMUNIST-ERA MARK. Vehicle-type digits, regional letters, sequence, the reverse emphasis of the modern mark, which drops the type entirely and leads with the place. The transition is the part worth carrying: issuance stopped with the 1992 reform, but these plates remained VALID UNTIL 2000, so Romanian traffic ran both systems side by side for eight years and a photograph from the 1990s proves nothing about a vehicle's registration date.

## About its years

Both boundaries are secondary and neither is instrument-dated. The 1966 start is the reported adoption of the numeric-type-prefix arrangement; the 1992 end is the reform. ISSUANCE ended in 1992; VALIDITY did not, see notes.
