Help with Prince August Leopold Medal

[Flávio P.Z.Peixoto]

Can someone help me to identify the last medal of Prince August Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and Bragança.

[922F]

Likely Saxe-Ernestine House Order [he attained grand cross rank].  In addition, he held at least :

 

Grand Cross
BRAZIL   Oder of Pedro I, Order of the Southern Cross, Order of the Rose 
BELGIUM  Order of Leopold
BULGARIA Order of St. Alexander
FRANCE  Order of the Legion of Honor
PORTUGAL  Order of the Tower & Sword  

SPAIN  Order of Charles III

TUSCANY  Order of St. Joseph

 

A career officer in the Austro-Hungarian navy, the prince may have earned other A-H awards besides those shown in the image.  He sailed on many 'show the flag' voyages perhaps receiving other 'foreign' decorations.

Thank you very much for your help, the prince also participated in a diplomatic trip to Japan, so it is possible that he also has the Order of the Rising Sun.

You are welcome, my pleasure.  I seem to recall [perhaps from the book Once a Grand Duke  by Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich of Russia] that he received a Russian award too.

thank you very much for everyone's help, I find it difficult that it is the Order of the Redeemer because in all his pictures he is using it and I don't think he would give it more importance than his other Orders.
It might not be the Order of Saxe either, but looking at this photo there appears to be spheres at the tip of the cross (or I'm just seeing wrong), which also rules out the Greek Order.

Kleine Dekoration zum Großkreuz des SEHO"s, perhaps? King Ferdinand of Bulgaria had one - with swords, of course (pic and description ex Zeige).

 

The new shot posted above shows what could be lions, and the ribbon w

in both pics could be a match (unlike the ribbon for the Greek order of the Redemeer, which is blue and white).

 

Kind regards,
