121 Orden des Heiligen Ferdinands und des Verdienstes. Kommandeurkreuz.

 The medal cross gold and enamel, on the beautiful long original collar of fine moiré silk. The medallions worked in three parts. The crown in particularly plastic execution. Splendid example in finest, hardly to be surpassed old Italian goldsmith's work. All classes of this order, founded in 1800 and awarded mainly during the Napoleonic wars, are very rare. For years the first medal gem of the commander class offered at auction.
