The Amalfi Cross is one of the most recognizable symbols of the Order and reflects its long tradition of service, charity, and Christian chivalric identity. The closed Crown of Sovereignty symbolizes the Order’s sovereign status and royal patronage. Magistral Commander neck badges such as this were worn by Knights of the Order and represent formal rank within the Order’s honor system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eThis is a refined and highly displayable Order of Malta neck badge with strong presence and desirable completeness.
