About this work
The order insignia is a white-enamelled gold cross hanging from a crown. The central medallion features a crowned (Gothic) letter A (for Adolph) in gold on a white background, with the inscription 'Virtute' in gold on a blue background and laurel leaves. The reverse shows the dates 1292 (the year Adolf of Nassau became King of the Romans) and 1858 (the year the order was founded) in gold on a white background. The shoulder sash is deep blue with a narrow orange border on both sides.
