Rh The Knights of the Grand Cross wear the decoration across the right shoulder by a green watered ribbon, three and a half inches wide, and with two white stripes across the whole length. They have also, by an octagonal radiant silver star, fastened to the left side of the breast, and containing, on its white enamelled middle, the effigy of the Duke in gold, surrounded by a blue enamelled ring with the words 'Albertus animosus.'

The Commanders, first class, wear the same decoration round the neck by a similar ribbon, two and a half inches wide, and accompanied by a rather smaller square star fastened to the left side of the breast, as described above.

The Commanders, second class, wear the same decoration, but without the star.

The Knights of both classes wear the cross of a smaller size, at one of the left button-holes, suspended by the ribbon of the Order, about one inch and a half wide.

Several medals are conferred in Saxony under various titles and for various merits, but as they are not allowed to be worn in public as a decoration, they do not belong to the category of insignia.
