| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Carol II facing right, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. Flanking the bust on either side are decorative laurel branches extending vertically along the inner rim. The legend CAROL II arcs across the upper field, while REGELE ROMANILOR curves along the lower periphery. The engraver's signature E.W. BECKER appears incuse beneath the truncation of the bust. The overall composition reflects a restrained Art Deco portraiture style characteristic of Romanian commemorative coinage of the period. |
