Footnote: The Order of the Star of Karageorge was introduced in commemoration of the May Coup of 1903, when the Karageorgevich Dynasty returned to the Serbian throne after 45 years of Obrenovich rule. It was founded to reward nationals and foreigners in recognition of services rendered to King and country, both in peacetime and war.Shortly after King Peter I Karageorgevich returned to the country on 12 June 1903, he modified the existing Serbian decoration system. By then, the Order of Takovo and Milosh the Great were abolished and replaced by the dynastic Order of the Star of Karageorge, which was authorized in both civil and military divisions.
