Specialized 1944 Cercul Ieșenilor group dedicated to two major rulers of historical Moldavia: Stephen the Great (Ștefan cel Mare) and Vasile Lupu.
The issued designs portray Ștefan cel Mare al Moldovei (1454–1504) in blue and Vasile Lupu, Cărturarul Moldovei (1634–1653) in violet. The group includes examples in the perforated format, together with imperforate horizontal pairs of both designs.
Also included are two unissued black designs, one depicting Vasile Lupu inscribed “ROMÂNIA RECOMANDAT”, and the other depicting Ștefan cel Mare inscribed “ROMÂNIA FRANCO.” These differ substantially in design and execution from the issued portrait types.
