(£50) in gold, besides 100 rixthalers (£20) for Counts and Barons.
The insignia of the Order consist: 1. Of a star (Plate 11. Tab. I. No. 1) worn by the Knights embroidered in silver upon the left breast. Upon that star is attached a cross embroidered with silver and interwoven and mounted in gold; it contains in the middle a round field of flame coloured, or poppy-red velvet, with the motto of the Order: 'In Treu vast' (Constant in loyalty) in golden Gothic letters.
2. Of a poppy-red ribbon, about three and a half inches wide, with narrow green borders, worn across the left shoulder towards the right hip, on which is suspended an octagonal large cross, white enamelled and blazing with gold, while between each of the arms of the cross are seen three golden points, and above the whole the royal crown. The central field represents, on the obverse, the history of the conversion of St. Hubert, with the above motto in a red ring. The reverse contains the Imperial ball, with the Cross in the shape of a globe, and with the inscription: ' In memoriam recuperate dignitatis avite, 1708' (In memory of the restoration of the original dignity, i. e. the Order). (Tab. I. Nos. 2 and 3). This great Cross, together with the large chain, as described in § 3, are, however, only worn on certain festivals, nor is it allowed to adorn the chain with precious stones. The daily decoration of the Knights (by fine of 20 thalers for each omission) is a small Cross, which may be adorned with a few precious stones in proportion to its size.
3. Of a golden chain of forty-two links, of which twenty-one represent, in oblong squares, the history of the conversion of St. Hubert; while the other twenty-one, which are alternately red and green, contain the Gothic initials in monogram, of the words: 'Treu vast.'
The costume, on festival days, is the Imperial mantle dress
