I hadn't previously seen this order. Thanks for educating me. The only Georgian identifier on the obverse is the presidential residence, built last decade, so this order in this design could not have been established in 1992. Upon further research, it seems to have been established in 2009.

Is this example yours? If so, may I inquire as to how you acquired such an unusual modern piece? I congratulate you. Few will have this order in their collection.
