Variant of the commemorative plaque of the General Exhibition in Bucharest in the year of King Carol I Jubilee; the current one made by Louis Stelmans, with several similarities with the one made by Carniol. The obverse depicts the image of the king on horseback, followed by his army. The silhouette of a church and several village buildings can be seen in the distance. The image is completed in the exergue by the legend: "THE KING WATCHES, THE COUNTRY FLOURISHES". The reverse depicts the royal pavilion organized in the jubilee year 1906. The entrance gate was in the form of a triumphal arch, with the text: "faith, foresight, work, economy, science, skill, will, culture". The entire surface is dominated by two medallions depicting the bust of King Carol I and that of Emperor Trajan, surrounded by grain heads, vine branches and other crop plants. At the bottom, in the exergue, the legend: "106 - 1866 - 1906".
