| Obverse description | Bare-headed, bearded bust of Prince Carol I facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and beard. The effigy fills the central field, with truncation at the lower neck. A continuous legend in raised Latin lettering encircles the bust close to the dentilated border, reading CAROL I DOMNUL ROMANIEI. The design reflects the restrained neoclassical portrait style characteristic of mid-19th-century European coinage. |
