Steel Crown of Romania

The Steel Crown

Portrait of H. M. King Ferdinand I wearing The Steel Crown at the coronation of King Ferdinand I and H. M. Queen Maria in 1922.

The Steel Crown of King Carol I of Romania was forged at the Army Arsenal (Arsenalul Armatei) in Bucharest of the steel of a gun captured by the Romanian Army from the Ottomans during the War of Independence (1877-1878). Carol I chose steel, and not gold, to symbolize the bravery of the Romanian soldiers. It is the same Crown used in 1922 at the coronation of King Ferdinand I and Queen Maria as sovereigns of Romania, which took place in Alba-Iulia.
