-Order of the Phoenix, Type I, Grand Commander, without neckbow
-silver, enamel, 34.6 g, 58x58 mm
-there are small defects in the enamel decoration (top and right)

The Order of the Phoenix was established by the Republican Greek government on May 13, 1926, as a replacement for the Royal Order of George I. It features the phoenix as a symbol of the newly reborn Republic.

From 1926-1927 the Order was conferred upon Greek citizens and foreigners, but from 1927-1935, the Order was only conferred upon foreigners. Since 1935, it has been conferred upon Greek citizens for distinguished service in public administration, science, the arts and letters, commerce, industry, and shipping. It may also be conferred upon prominent foreigners for contributions to the international status of the Greek nation.

The Order is classified into three types based on design changes representative of changes in the political landscape.

Type I decorations were awarded from 1926-1935. They have no surmounting crown and no royal cypher. The obverse inscription, “E. T. T. A.,” represents the first letters of the motto “From my ashes I am reborn.”
