The Steel Crown of Romania
The Crown of King Carol Iwas forged from the steel of a cannon captured by the Romanian Army from the Ottomans during its War of Independence.
Carol I chose steel, and not gold, to symbolize the bravery of the Romanian soldiers.
He received it during the ceremonies of his coronation and of the proclamation of Romania as a kingdom in 1881. It is the same Crown used in 1922 at the coronation of King Ferdinand I and Queen Maria as sovereigns of Romania.
The Crown was used also during the coronation and anointing as King of Michael I by the Orthodox Patriarch of Romania on the day of his second accession, September 6, 1940.
