The Saxe-Ernestine House Order (German : Sachsen-Ernestinischer Hausorden )[ 1] order of merit instituted by Duke Friedrich of Saxe-Altenburg , Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha , and Duke Bernhard II of Saxe-Meiningen on 25 December 1833 as a joint award of the Saxon duchies .[ 2]
Classes At first, the Order consisted of five classes: Grand Cross, Commander's Cross with Star in First and Second Classes, and Knight's Cross in First and Second Classes. Awards were reserved for officers.
In 1864, a silver-gilt medal was added but subsequently suppressed in 1918, at the end of World War I.[ 3]
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha revival (2006) In 2006, the head of the former ducal family of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Prince Andreas ,
created the "Ducal Saxe-Coburg-Gotha House Order" (Herzoglich Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha'sche Hausorden ).[ 1]
