The Order of Honour (Greek: Τάγμα της Τιμής) is an order of Greece. It comes second in rank to the Order of the Redeemer and was established in 1975, replacing the abolished Royal Order of George I .
The order's design was influenced by the royal family's Danish origin, evoking the appearance of the Order of the Dannebrog. The order is not awarded since 1975 by the Greek state after the abolition of monarchy and today is awarded only by the former Greek royal family. [1]
The Order of Beneficence (Greek: Τάγμα της Ευποιΐας) is an order of Greece which was established in 1975 by law no.106/1975, using the same name and same insignia as that of the order instituted in the previous governance of the Kingdom of Greece, although a separate order with different statutes.
