| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Carol I facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and a full beard, occupying the central field. The circumferential legend reads CAROL • I • REGE • AL • ROMANIEI, separated by raised dots and framed by an inner beaded border. The engraver's signature TASSET appears incuse at the base of the portrait, just above the lower beaded border. The portrait style reflects the refined medallic art of the early twentieth century, conveying the dignity and authority of the Romanian sovereign. |
