Belgium: Gold (gilt) Palms (1st Class) in the 
Order of the Belgian Crown.
This example is of rather recent manufacture

In its cardbox of issue, marked by P. Degreef.
The Order was instituted in 1897 as an award 
for meritorious services at the Belgian Congo. 
In 1908 the Order became officially a Belgian 
Order, awarded for meritorious civil or military 
services to the Belgian state, and could be 
awarded to both Belgian and foreign citizens. 
The Order of the Crown has 5 classes, 2 palms 
(gilt and silver) and 3 medals (gilt, silver and 
bronze). 
The Palms and Medals are awarded to lower-
ranking military and civilian personnel for 
meritorious service and in contrary to the 
French Academic Palms they are not 
academic awards.
