This is a miniature version of the Order of Saint-Charles, issued by the Monégasque royal family. Established in AD 1858, the order comprises a total of five distinct classes.

The decoration features a bifurcated Maltese cross in alternating red and white enamel, with each arm terminating in a small pearl-like bead. The cross is encircled by a laurel wreath, and at the top it is surmounted by a crown-shaped suspension element.

The obverse medallion features a red field bearing the cypher of the order’s founder, Prince Charles III of Monaco, surrounded by a white enamel band inscribed with the Latin motto “PRINCEPS ET PATRIA” (“Prince and Fatherland”). The reverse medallion displays a red-and-white lozenge pattern, the heraldic emblem of the ruling Grimaldi dynasty of the Principality of Monaco, encircled by a band inscribed with “DEO JUVANTE” (“With God’s Help”).

這是一枚摩納哥王室發行的迷你版「聖夏爾勳章」。聖夏爾勳章創建於公元1858年，總計有五個不同的等級。

勳章外觀為紅白相交的分叉馬爾他十字架，十字架的每個叉角都有一枚珠點作為裝飾，周圍則圍繞著月桂花環，頂端銜接一個王冠造型的懸掛。

勳章正面的紅色圓盤是創設者：摩洛哥親王夏爾三世的姓名花押，周圍的白色圓環則寫上拉丁銘文「PRINCEPS ET PATRIA」(君主與祖國)。勳章背面圓盤上出現的紅白相交的菱形圖騰，是統治摩洛哥親王國的格里馬爾迪王朝家族紋飾。外圍的圓環則有銘文「DEO JUVANTE」(在上帝的幫助下)。
