Badge and Sash of the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George awarded to Sir Edmund Barton
The Badge of the Knight Grand Cross is a gold cross with fourteen white enamel points edged in gold. At the centre on one side is a depiction of the Archangel St Michael, with sword in hand, encountering Satan. On the other side St George on horseback encounters a dragon. Both are inside a blue circle inscribed with the motto AUSPICIUM MELIORIS AEVI (‘Token of a better age’). The cross is surmounted by the Imperial crown and attached to a wide Saxon-blue ribbon with a scarlet stripe, to be worn from the right shoulder to the left side.
