Miniature. The Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. CMG.

Companion breast badge. 20mm, silver-gilt and enamel. Extremely fine.

The Order of St Michael and St George was originally awarded to those holding commands or high position in the Mediterranean territories acquired in the Napoleonic Wars, and was subsequently extended to holders of similar office or position in other territories of the British Empire. It is at present awarded to men and women who hold high office or who render extraordinary or important non-military service to the United Kingdom in a foreign country, and can also be conferred for important or loyal service in relation to foreign and Commonwealth affairs.

This is an excellent example, with light signs of wear, but intact enamel.
