Nice! A coin from my home country!
With the country under Soviet occupation, and ruled by commies after they falsified elections, King Mihai had a heavy crown to wear... In 1947, students protested against the communist government and showed support for the king. More than 1000 students were arrested in December 1947, and the king was forced to abdicate under the threat that the arrested students would otherwise be executed. He was allowed to flee the country.
Although he survived the rise and fall of communism, years after the Romanian Revolution, he was not allowed to visit the country. The new neo-communist president was afraid of the influence of the king. Nevertheless, he came incognito using a Swiss passport, and more than a million people came to welcome him. He visited the burial grounds of the family and left in peace. A true gentleman!
