    I am unfortunately not aware of the circumstances in which he received the award.

    We can assume that it did not refer to specific merits but only to Goffinet's high position at the side of the Belgian king.

    Maybe there was a state visit in Belgium or Romania. Are you aware of such an occasion?

    There was indeed a visit of King Carol to Brussels between 4 July/22 June and 7 July/25 June 1892. The award must be related to this because 12/24 September was a quiet day for the king according to his diary.
