Carol I în medalistică
Carol I reprezented in medals

Summary/Abstract: This study constitutes an absolute novelty in the research dedicated to the art of the Romanian medal. He proposes to make available to historians and art historians a significant and fully illustrated selection of medals and plaques bearing the effigies of the founder of the Romanian dynasty - Charles I of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1866-1914) ). Although the systematic study of Romanian medals dates back only to the end of the nineteenth century and to the first years of the twentieth century, we do not yet have a complete catalog, which includes both the description of the parts and the technical data And the complete illustration of each type and its variants. By tackling the theme of the princely and royal effigies of Charles I in the art of the medal the authors engaged in a business that was both difficult and fascinating. With the exception of three partial studies of the only period of Charles I - that of C. Moisil, of 1939, and those of Carmen Tănăsoiu, the theme of the royal portrait has not been studied at share. To fill this gap, the authors had to examine an impressive number of numismatic documents kept in the most important public and private collections
