Between 1714 and 1946, all nominations to the Order were made on the recommendation of the British government, but the Order is now conferred by personal gift of the Sovereign. The motto of the Order is “HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE,” Middle French for “Shame to him who thinks evil of it.” The Collar Badge is worn on formal occasions and collar days. It was created as an additional insignia of the Order in the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanford Saltus was born on March 9, 1853 in New Haven, Connecticut, the only son of Theodore Saltus, founder of the Saltus Steel Company. He was an advocate for the arts and became a member of the American Numismatic Society in 1892. From 1897 to 1898 he was Second Vice President, and from 1900 to 1905 Corresponding Secretary. Saltus provided significant funding to aid the Society’s efforts to commission commemorative medals and was a prominent figure of the orders and decorations committee. On June 23, 1922, Saltus poisoned himself with cyanide. It is unconfirmed whether this was suicide, or a mistake made while cleaning coins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46127933063445,"sku":"GB7024","price":14850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/m19_22055.jpg?v=1692890314"},{"product_id":"united-kingdom-an-order-of-the-garter-lesser-george-in-gold-c1900-gb8255","title":"United Kingdom.
