Plate 26: 'Oostenryk. Orde van de IJzeren Kroon - Orde van Elizabeth Theresia.' (Austria. Order of the Iron Crown - Order of Elizabeth Theresia). The Austrian Imperial Order of the Iron Crown (Italian: Imperial Ordine della Corona Ferrea German: Kaiserliche Orden Krone der Eisernen), was reestablished in 1815 by Emperor Franz I. The Order of the Iron Crown had previously been an order of the Napoleanic Kingdom of Italy. The Order of Elisabeth and Theresa (in German: Elisabeth-Theresien-Orden) was a decoration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, created in 1750 by Empress Consort Elizabeth Christine in her testament. It was later revised in 1771 by Empress Maria Theresa, as the Elizabetho-Theresian Military Foundation.
