That is indeed odd.  I wonder if the post has somehow been moved or the wrong image attached due to the new web system which the administrator introduced.

That certainly wasn't the image I posted!

I'll hunt up the originals and repost them when I'm at home.

In the meantime, see them at http://medals.org.uk/ivory-coast/ivory-coast-text.htm (time I did some more on that section...)

I am sure the ribbon bar is missing.

For example,compare with Lebanese Order of the Cedars.There is a ribbon bar right down.

Hi Nick,

For the officer Cote D'Ivoire, the missing thing in the lower right corner is a button device. These Usually go between 60-90 euro.

Hello Gentlemens,

 

Here is a photo of the Ivory Coast National Order Grand Cross set with Diamonds ( likely unique ), awarded to President Charles de Gaulle of France, and on display of Museum of the Order of the Liberation ( which is set inside the French Army Museum in Paris ).

 

Regards to all.

Some close-up photo of the same set.

 

On "normal" Grand Cross breast star, the center is in 1 piece, but here you can see, the center of the breast star is in 3 pieces, highly likely manufactured in gold. And only for General de Gaulle who was President of France from 1958 to 1969.

 

It would be very interesting to know, if Queen Elisabeth II who was awarded a Grand Cross of the National Order of Ivory Coast in 1961, if she had also been awarded a set in gold with diamonds.

 

Regards to all.
