The award system is an integral component of each modern state. Award signs provide visible recognition of people’s merits in various areas of life and visual encouraging for courage and courage manifested in the interests of the Fatherland. The custom to reward people of the distinguished people arose in ancient times. With the development of states, new insignia and new types of rewards appeared, and the awards themselves became more and more diverse.
This publication is a kind of international catalog of orders and medals, which contains images and descriptions of the most prestigious and rare awards in various states. When creating a book, the author set the goal of covering the maximum number of countries from various regions of the world, in order to be wider to present the whole variety of existing insignia.
For a wide range of readers.
