A silver gilt and enameled Commander Cross of the Order of the White Lion for civil merit. The Commander was initially limited to only 900 recipients.
The Order of the White Lion is the highest order of the Czech Republic and was created in 1922 as an award for foreigners in five classes and two divisions, civil (with two crossed palms above the badge) and military (with two crossed swords above the badge). Medals were made of gold and silver. The number of recipients was originally limited, with the limits changing during later years. The Statutes of the order were amended in 1924, 1930, and 1936.
The Order of the White Lion became an award to those who had helped liberate Czechoslovakia from occupation by Nazi Germany after World War II.
Beautiful set with case and tailored neck ribbon by Karnet & Kysely in almost mint condition with a surface flake on the ribbon suspender.
