The Order of Freedom – Yugoslavia’s Highest Military Order

The Order of Freedom,Yugoslavia’s Highest Military Order

We are thrilled to introduce a true gem for collectors: a museum-quality reproduction of the prestigious Order of Freedom, one of the rarest and most esteemed military decorations in Yugoslav history.


Historical Significance

Established on 12 June 1945, the Order of Freedom was the highest military award in Yugoslavia—and second only in state hierarchy to the Yugoslav Great Star. It was conferred to commanders of large military units for exceptional leadership and bravery. Remarkably, it was awarded only seven times before the breakup of Yugoslavia, to luminaries such as:

  • Josip Broz Tito

  • Ivan Gosnjak

  • Koča Popović

  • Kosta Nađ

  • Peko Dapčević

  • Georgy Zhukov

  • Leonid Brezhnev

After SFR Yugoslavia dissolved, the order continued in Serbia and Montenegro, being awarded, for example, on 16 June 1999, to Dragoljub Ojdanić and Nebojša Pavković.
