Bulgaria. Order of Maternal Glory, 2nd Class
The Order of Maternal Glory (Орден „Майчинска слава“) was instituted on 13 December 1950 by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria to recognize mothers for raising their children. The decoration was divided into three classes; the 2nd Class was awarded to mothers who had raised six or seven children.
The insignia features an oval composition with figures representing a mother and her children, together with symbols of the Bulgarian state. The inscription „ЗА МАЙЧИНСКА СЛАВА“ (“For Maternal Glory”) appears at the top, enamelled in blue on the 2nd Class insignia. It was produced by the State Mint in Sofia and issued with different suspension designs, including a bow-shaped ribbon and a metal mount enamelled in the colours of the Bulgarian flag.
