Romfilatelia, the specialized company in issuing and trading Romanian postage stamps, introduces into circulation the philatelic issue Romania\u2019s Orders.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after the Unification of the Romanian Princedoms of 1859, the ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza was concerned about the idea of instituting orders and medals to be conferred to persons for services provided for the benefit of the country.<br \/>\nThe first project for the setting up of the \u201cGolden Wheat Ear\u201d, inspired by the French \u201cLegion of Honor\u201d, due to the internal political events, could not be subject to vote. Then followed the institution of the \u201cPro Virtute Militari\u201d medal for the survivors of the battle on Dealul Spirii (September 1848), a medal that Cuza shall no longer award in order not to disturb Turkey. Five years after the Unification, he wanted to institute a national order to be awarded on this anniversary and which was called the \u201cOrder of Unification\u201d. This latter\u2019s insignia were ordered at a jewelry house of Paris. Unfortunately, the house could not honor the order by the anniversary date, and meanwhile the chancelleries of Vienna and Istanbul found out about the intention of the Romanian ruler, arousing a true diplomatic scandal. In 1864, Cuza minted two more medals: \u201cMilitary Virtue\u201d and \u201cDevotion and Courage\u201d.<br \/>\nDuring the reign of Charles I, the Romania\u2019s decorations system was created. Among the most important ones we mention the first Romanian order after the Proclamation of Independence, namely \u201cRomanian Star\u201d. It was followed by the medals \u201cLoyal Service\u201d and \u201cMilitary Virtue\u201d. After the Proclamation of the Kingdom, a second order is instituted, hierarchically situated under the \u201cRomanian Star\u201d, namely the \u201cRomanian Crown\u201d. At the same time, many other medals were instituted to reward the work of certain social categories, such as teachers, professors, policemen, priests, doctors, those who work in the trade and industry field.<br \/>\nDuring the reign of King Ferdinand and during the First World War the \u201cMihai Viteazul\u201d Military Order, the \u201cMilitary War Virtue\u201d medal, the \u201cManhood and Faith\u201d medal, the \u201cQueen Mary Cross\u201d Order and the \u201cSanitary Merit\u201d Cross were instituted. After the war, in 1921, in all the countries of the Agreement (France, England, Serbia, Italy, Romania, United States of America), the \u201cVictory\u201d medal was instituted; each state minted its own medal based on a single type of symbol image, the rainbow ribbon being common.<br \/>\nKing Charles II brought many changes to the decorations system, instituting, among others, the \u201cCharles I\u201d Order, \u201cFerdinand I\u201d, \u201cAeronautic Virtue\u201d, \u201cCultural Merit\u201d, \u201cRomania\u2019s Eagle\u201d, the Order and Medal \u201cBene Merenti of the Ruler\u2019s House\u201d, \u201cMarine Medal\u201d, \u201cSaint George\u201d Military Order.<br \/>\nAfter the forced abdication of King Michael I, on the 30th of December 1947, all the traditional symbols of the state were abolished, including the entire system of civil and military decorations in use until that date. The new decorations of the People\u2019s Republic of Romania were copied by those of the Soviet Union and, after changing the name of the country into Socialist Republic of Romania, the created distinctions were modernized, partially renouncing to the Soviet red star, with five corners.<br \/>\nThe orders now used were reinstituted based on Law no. 29 of year 2000, but for the \u201cRomanian Star\u201d Order, in order to cope with the external protocol needs, the Government enacted an Emergency Ordinance that subsequently became Law no. 77 of 1999.<br \/>\nThe postage stamp with the face value of RON 0.30 represents the \u201cLoyal Service\u201d National Order, for the rank of Great Officer (for civilians).<br \/>\nThe postage stamp with the face value of RON 0.80 represents the \u201cRomanian Star\u201d National Order, for the rank of Great Officer (for civilians).<br \/>\nThe postage stamp with the face value of RON 2.20 represents the \u201cFor Merit\u201d National Order, for the rank of Great Officer (for civilians).<br \/>\nThe postage stamp with the face value of RON 2.50 represents the \u201c1st Class Sports Merit\u201d Order.<br \/>\nThe philatelic issue \u201cRomania\u2019s Orders\u201d was accomplished with the support of the Orders Chancellery of the Presidential Administration.<\/p>\n<p>Issue date: 2006-12-30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romfilatelia, the specialized company in issuing and trading Romanian postage stamps, introduces into circulation the philatelic issue Romania\u2019s Orders.
