Monetăria Statului, medalia „Coroana Română, 160 de ani”

On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, His Majesty the Custodian of the Crown hosted, at the Elisabeta Palace, the launch event of the anniversary medal "160 years of the Royal Crown", produced by the State Mint. His Majesty was joined by His Royal Highness Prince Radu and Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia. The Romanian Crown, 160 years represents a premiere in Romanian medal art: for the first time, a medal brings together, in a single composition, the effigies of the four kings of Romania and that of the Custodian of the Romanian Crown. On the occasion of the 160th anniversary of the accession to the throne of Prince Carol I, the State Mint launches the anniversary medal "160 years of the Royal Crown", an exceptional issue dedicated to the historical, symbolic and institutional continuity of the Romanian Crown. The medal marks, through an artistic concept of particular value, the course of the Romanian monarchy from the founding of the modern state to the present day. In a unified composition, the effigies of King Carol I, King Ferdinand I, King Carol II, King Michael I and Her Majesty Margareta, Custodian of the Romanian Crown, are represented, illustrating the continuity of a history that has spanned over a century and a half.
