    Type II was introduced in 1856, and the badge features flowing blue ribbons (pendalia) and smaller crown. The official star was issued in silver gilt, with an enamelled center. The badge with swords are awarded to military personnel. Value of higher-end Russian Orders varies greatly; value depends on period and quality of manufacture, maker and the provenance; as well as value of Russian currency and general economic situation in Russia. A very rare award.

History


This was originally a Polish Order, created by Augustus II, King of Poland in 1705.

This award was primarily conferred upon Polish nationals within Russia, but was later adopted as a Russian Order after the conclusion of the Polish rebellions in 1831, as a deliberate political act by Czar Nicholas I as a way to deprive the Polish ruling classes of power and decision-making capabilities.

The badge with swords are awarded to military personnel.
