Belgium Special Decoration Mutuality Commander's Cross 1st Class Civil Merit Medal 1889 Belgian Decoration Award

BELGIUM: Special Decoration for Mutuality, Commander's Cross 
1st Class.
The Special Decorations were instituted in 1889 to be issued as a 
reward of exceptional services to a variety of organizations. 
The Special Decoration for Mutuality was awarded for service to 
organizations focused on providing care related to health, 
unemployment and other forms of social insurance (such forms of 
care were not provided by the State at the time - it was offered instead 
through various charity-voluntary entities/organizations).
The Commander's Cross for these awards is extremely rare, as usually
the 1st Class of this medal is denoted by a rosette on the ribbon.
