Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Spain, Franco Period. An Order of St. Hermenegildo, Commander's Star, c.1950

(Real y Militar Orden de San Hermenegildo). Instituted 1814 by King Ferdinand VII. Franco Period issue. A reduced size four armed cross with ball finials in bronze gilt, featuring cluster of five beaded rays in each quadrant in silvered bronze, with obverse centre in bronze gilt exhibiting a superposed figure of St. Hermenegildo, with a light-blue enameled background, surrounded by a white enameled border inscribed PREMIO A LA CONSTANCIA MILITAR (Award to the Military Constancy), circumscribed on a green enameled laurel wreath, reverse with pin assembly and dual stays, measuring 58.62 mm (w) x 59.35 mm (h), presenting bleached obverse surface because of an old cleaning, good.

Footnote: One of the oldest European orders still awarded, the Royal and Military Order of St. Hermenegildo was founded on November 28, 1814, after the end of the Peninsular War. It was established in recognition of the military personnel who finally defeated the French army of Napoleon in Spain, and reconstituted the reign of Ferdinand VII. The Order is currently awarded in recognition of length of service to the Crown, with an unbroken record of exemplary behavior in the performance of their duties.
