About The Event
The next object presented in our historical series, "The History of Romania in One Object", created in partnership with The National Museum of Transylvanian History in Cluj, is loaded with symbolism and emotion. The Great Medal of the 1922 Coronation of Ferdinand I and Marie as the ruling family of Greater Romania is a token of love not only because it evokes the greatest political event in our country's modern history – the unification of all Romanian provinces in one state – but also because it conveys a moving message from a most beloved monarch, Queen Marie of Romania.
This event is part of the series dedicated by RCI New York to the celebration of the National Day of Romania 2020.
