The Swedish Order of the North Star
| |
|
The Order of the North Star was until 1975 intended as a reward for Swedish and foreign "civic merits, for devotion
to duty, for science, literary, learned and useful works and for new and beneficial institutions". The cross
of the order is of the Maltese type and was originally worn in a black sash; since 1975 the sash is blue with
yellow edges. The emblem bears the device of the order, "Nescit occasum" (It knows no decline.) This order also has a medal, "the North Star Medal". As from 1975, the Order of the Polar Star is presented t o foreign nationals or stateless persons. Click the highlighted text below the picture to get to the sub page! | |
