Order of the Crown of Romania: as printed on a piece of woven silk which was given away free with packets of W. D. & H. O. Wills' Australian brands of "Three Castles" and "Vice Regal" cigarettes. This particular series, consisting of 66 silks, was issued in 1916 and was entitled "War Medals". http://imageshack.us http://g.imageshack.us/g.php?h=141&i=oofcox3.jpg |

There is just one more cigarette card of interest from this set: http://imageshack.us http://g.imageshack.us/g.php?h=207&i=barbmedalmi4.jpg There were 90 cards in the set which was entitled "War Decorations & Medals". It was issued in 1927 by John Player & Sons, part of the Imperial Tobacco Co. of Great britain & Ireland Ltd.. The card numbers of the Romanian decorations included in the set were as follows: 63 - Order of Michael the Brave; 64 - Order of the Star of Romania; 65 - Order of the Crown of Romania; 66 - 1916-18 War Cross; 67 - Victory medal; 68 - Barbatie si Credinta medal. Note that the graphic artist has omitted from the Order of the Star the blue enamel ring with the motto In Fide Salus. Also the War Cross has been shown with the reverse of the medal. Even so, they are a very attractive set of cards. |

| I have just seen that all 6 of the Player's cigarette cards showing Romanian decorations are being offered for sale on ebay by a seller in the USA. Item number is 260277630524, end time is 28 Aug., 09-58-14 BST. That's a spooky coincidence! |

The cards were sold to a buyer in Romania. Was it anyone from this Forum? |

| Another graphic depicting the Elisabeth Cross. This time from a Liebig trade card in my collection. The card is from the series "Orders awarded to women" (Sanguinetti number 0831), which I think dates from 1905. http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=liebigorders.jpg Detail of the Elisabeth Cross in the lower left corner of the card. http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=liebigordersdetail.jpg On the front of the card the cross is wrongly named as the "Roumanian Cross of Merit". However, this is corrected on the reverse of the card where the name Elisabeth Cross is used. Another error by the artist is the ribbon - it looks like the Military Virtue ribbon, rather than the blue with gold edge stripes ribbon of the actual elisabeth Cross. |
