Product Information
Specification
Greece: Officer's Cross ("Gold Cross" - gilt) 
of the Royal Order of the Phoenix. 
This is the 4th Class of the Order.
In its box of issue, with the Royal Crown on the 
lid,  by Anagnostopoulos in Athens.
The Order of the Phoenix was instituted in 
1926 to replace the Royal Order of George I.
Initially it was awarded (like all Orders of that 
period) only to Foreigners for meritorious 
services to the Greek State. 
Following the restoration of the monarchy, in 
1935, the Order was renamed to the " Royal 
Order of the Phoenix " and was amended with 
the addition of the Crown and of the respective 
Royal cipher. 
Additionally, Greek citizens could ever since 
qualify for the award as well. 
The Order is still in use today (without the 
Crown) for outstanding military merit and 
also for merit in the fields of arts, letters, 
science, commerce, industry and public life. 
This example with the Royal cypher of King 
Paul I (since 1947) was awarded for merit 
during WW2 and the Greek Civil War (1945 - 
1949).
