A bit of background:
The Order of the Thistle was confirmed by James VII of Scotland (James II of England) in 1687 to honour eminent service to the Scottish crown. After a brief lapse, it was revived by Queen Anne in 1703 and remains limited to the Sovereign and a small number of Knights and Ladies. The thistle emblem and Latin motto have long symbolised Scotland’s royal protection. The breast star became a formal part of the insignia in the 18th century and is worn at state ceremonies with the green riband and badge.

Use & notes:
Crisp multi-layer starburst with clean edges; good depth to the thistle centre. Ideal for collections, historical display, film/prop, cosplay or as a teaching piece. Hand-finished—minor variation in tone is normal.

Important: This is a replica/reproduction insignia for display only. Not an awarded original and carries no official status.
