Perspective
At first, the Order consisted of five classes: Grand Cross, Commander's Cross with Star in First and Second Classes, and Knight's Cross in First and Second Classes. Awards were reserved for officers.
In 1864, a silver-gilt medal was added but subsequently suppressed in 1918, at the end of World War I.[3] Gold and silver medals were also associated with the Order.
