The Steel Crown of King Carol I of Romania was forged at the Army Arsenal in Bucharest of the steel of a cannon captured by the Romanian Army from the Ottomans during the War of Independence (1877–1878). Carol I chose steel, and not gold, to symbolize the bravery of the Romanian soldiers. He received it during the ceremonies of his coronation and of the proclamation of Romania as a kingdom in 1881.
