History


This Medal was established by King Carol I in 1912. It was suppressed in 1947 after the abolition of the Romanian monarchy, but was re-instated in 2000 following the collapse of the Socialist Republic.

It is awarded to Romanian citizens for meritorious services rendered to the commercial and industrial sectors of Romania.

There are two models of the medal. The first model, awarded prior to 1947, features the portrait of King Carol I with an obverse inscription that translates to "Carol I, King of Romania." The second model, awarded since 2000, features the staff of Hermes on the obverse. Both models have an obverse inscription that translates to "Commercial and Industrial Merit."

There may be additional versions that vary in composition.

The previous model is listed in the Medals & Decorations of the Kingdom (1881-1947).

See also Order of Commercial and Industrial Merit, in the Orders of the Republic (2000-).
