    Greece Greek Breast Silver Star Order of the Grand Crown


    Recommended Posts

    Hi there,

    I have an old two orders, I searched and asked too many experts but unfortunately no luck. I could not get any piece of information that could help me to identify them.

    Here some information if would like to help:

    1) The first one is silver breast star with big crown in the medal measures: 90 mm in diameter & 54 Grams

    2) The second one is cross with big crown on top & small cross on the top of the crown measures: 75 X 40 mm & 21 Grams

    Please examine the attached pictures

    Sincerely

    Khaled Hussein

    I do not know what these insignia actually represent but have seen them identified as an "Order of the Crown of Crete" and a "Patriarch's Order of the Crown", both what some call 'self-styled' orders

    Several similar stars, though not as well made as yours, exist with one being offered recently on eBay. The badge looks similar to some Coptic Egyptian church awards [bichay of Cairo made these type insignia up to about 1985]---is the other side the same as your badge image?

    Does either piece have maker or hallmarks?
