The

The order was founded on 17 January 1701 by ElectorRriedrich III of Brandenburg,
who became Friedrich I, King in Prussia, the following day.
It was worn on a yellow-orange sash.
The medal is made of
solid silver
and is
real gilded
.
It has slight signs of use, but it is in a very good condition!
The Maltese cross is enamelled on both sides.
Real Glass enamel - bulbous form.
Gold-crowned black eagles between the arms of the cross.
The gold center medallion bore the royal monogram of Friedrich I
("FR", for
Fredericus Rex
).
Surely the medal is not an awarded piece, rather a so-called second piece
or an old jewelers production for survivors.
