The Order of Leopold II is an order of Belgium and is named in
honor of King Léopold II. The decoration was established on August 24, 1900 by
Leopold II as king of the Congo Free State and was in 1908, upon Congo being
handed over to Belgium, incorporated into the Belgian awards system. The order
is awarded for meritorious service to the sovereign of Belgium, and as a token
of his personal goodwill. It can be awarded to both Belgians and foreigners,
and is seen as diplomatic gift of merit. The order has become a long service
order for people in the civil service and is awarded alternatively with the
Order of the Crown, as the Order of Leopold is awarded under rarer
circumstances. The order currently stands third after the Order of Leopold
(1st) and the Order of the Crown (2nd) in the Belgian honors hierarchy. The Order
of Leopold II is awarded by royal decree, in five grades: Grand Cross, Grand
Officer, Commander, Officer and Knight, along with three medals (Gold, Silver
and Bronze).
