Romania Commemorative Medal for the 50th Anniversary of the Inauguration of the Peles Royal Castle 1883 1933 by Jelea

Kingdom of Romania: Commemorative Medal 
for the 50th Anniversary of the inauguration 
of the Royal Castle at Peles. 
Signed by Ion Jelea  (1887-1983)
Obverse: The portraits of Kings Carol I, 
Ferdinand and Carol II circumscribed:
"50 Years Since the Founding of Peles Castle 
at Sinaia"
Reverse: Patriotic poem by the Romanian 
poet Vasile Alecsandri: 
"I, Carol, myself, and my people have built 
together, having one intention and love, my 
kingdom in times of war, my castle in times 
of peace".
The medal was instituted on 16 Aug. 1933 on 
the occasion of the festivities for the 50th 
anniversary of the renovation of the Royal 
Castle at Peles. 
It was awarded just to the members of the 
Army High Command, the Sinaia Garrison 
and to holders of the Order of Michael the 
Brave, 1st Class and the Medal of Military 
Virtue, 1st Class. 
In total just 600 medals were awarded, hence 
this is a very rare award. 
The site of Peles Castle was bought by the 
future King Carol I in 1875. 
The castle was completed in 1883 and it 
served as the Royal Summer Residence until 
the fall of the Monarchy. 
The castle was seized by the Communist 
regime in 1948 and it was returned to King 
Mihai in 2006. 
Subsequently the Romanian Government 
bought back the castle and turned it into the 
Peles National Museum.
