Belgian honours order of wearing
Appearance
Order of precedence of Belgian national orders and awards. Grey text indicates dormant awards.
The list is established based on the official current order of precedence as stated in military regulations, combined with the list established in 1985 by Charles Borné.[1] As an official order of precedence including all medals ever created by Belgium was never established, currently obsolete commemorative medals are excluded from this list.
