Physical Description and Item Details


In fire gilt bronze, with finely executed red enameled centre pieces, measuring 41x56mm (inclusive of integral ring suspension), on large ribbon ring with period ribbon, near mint.

History


The Order was founded by Prince Wilhelm Weid of Albania.

This Order was the highest title conferrable upon citizens of the Principality of Albania, and it was awarded to recognize civil and military merit.

The Order was discontinued on September 5, 1914, less than 5 months after it was founded, making it one of the rarest European Orders.
