The Order of Vasa was instituted by King Gustaf III on 29 May 1772 to reward achievement in a number of fields then coming to prominence and importance, such as agriculture, technology and commerce.

White enamel ball-tipped Maltese cross with silver Swedish crowns between the arms, on crown suspension. The face with an oval central medallion bearing a gold sheaf, emblem of the Vasa dynasty, encircled by a red enamel ring inscribed in gilt characters “GUST. D. III INST. MDCCLXXII” (Gustaf III instituted 1772). The reverse is identical to the obverse. This badge is the second type (1860-). The crown suspension indicates that is an early piece from ca 1860-1870 and comes with the rare case from the producer C.F.Carlam. Early cases as this one is seldom seen.
