Footnote: The Order of the Crown of Romania (Ordin "Corona Romaniei") is a chivalric order established on March 14, 1881 by King Carol I of Romania, to commemorate the establishment of the Kingdom of Romania. It was awarded as a state orderuntil the end of the Romanian monarchy in 1947 and was revived on December 30, 2011 as a dynastic order. The order had five classes: Grand Cross, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer and Knight. The Long Service Cross (Crucea Serviciul Credincios) was instituted on October 11, 1906 in two classes, which was changed to three classes when the Cross was revised in 1932.
