ROMANIA: Carol II, 1930-1940, 100 lei pattern, 1939, KM-XM8var, Sch/Stamb-172, unadopted pattern in gilt bronze, unlisted in UWC in this metal, only one certified by NGC (April 2016), NGC graded MS63, RRR. Carol II (15 October 1893-4 April 1953) was the grand-nephew of Carol I. He developed the reputation of a playboy in his youth and his many affiairs and indescretions led to him being declared by many to be unfit to become king. He agreed to renounce his claim to the throne in December 1925, in favor of his son Michael, who became king in 1927. Returning to the country in 1930 in a coup d'état, he replaced his son as king. He meddled in politics of the country, and was forced to cede territory to Russia and Hungary in the period leading up to World War II. He became very unpopular with the people because of this, and ultimately was forced to abdicate in 1940. He lived out his life in exile in Portugal.
