# Antonescu medal, 'Mareșal al României și Conducătorul Statului' (G. Stănescu, 1941)

The obverse of a bronze commemorative medal showing Ion Antonescu in profile and uniform, ringed by his titles 'Marshal of Romania and Leader of the State'. The museum's catalogue gives the reverse as a sword in a laurel wreath with the legend 'Unifier, you have deserved well of the fatherland', honorific words that stand in for any listed deed; only the obverse is pictured.
