Cross of Faithful Service
The Cross of Faithful Service (Romanian: Crucea națională "Serviciul Credincios") was instituted by King Carol I in 1906, as a two class cross. In early 1948, together with the Order and Medal of Faithful Service as well as all the traditional Romanian orders, it was discontinued by the Communist Government of Romania.
