This is a civil version of the 3rd Class Order of St. Anna, produced between AD 1908 and AD 1917. The origins of the Order of St. Anna trace back to AD 1735, when Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein, established the order in honour of his wife, Anna Petrovna, the eldest daughter of Peter the Great of Russia. In AD 1797, Emperor Paul I officially incorporated the order into the Russian Empire’s system of honours. The Order of St. Anna was issued in both civil and military versions, with the latter distinguished by crossed swords as an adornment. The order was divided into four classes.

The order features a gold-framed red enamel equilateral cross, with gold floral designs filling the spaces between the arms. At the centre is a gold-bordered white medallion depicting St. Anna, the mother of the Virgin Mary, standing in a forest. For recipients who were non-Christians, the image of St. Anna was replaced with the emblem of the imperial double-headed eagle.

The reverse side of the white medallion features a blue monogram, crafted from the initial letters of the Latin motto of the Order, “Amantibus Justitiam, Pietatem, Fidem” (“To those who love justice, piety, and fidelity”). The top of the Order of St. Anna is attached to a ribbon by a circular ring, with the ribbon featuring a red background edged in yellow. It is worn on the left side of the chest.

這是一枚公元1908至1917年間製作的民事版三等聖安娜勳章。聖安娜勳章能上溯至公元1735年,霍爾斯坦公國的卡爾·腓特烈以妻子安娜·彼得羅芙娜,即俄國彼得大帝的長女之名設立的勳章。公元1797年,保羅一世正式收錄這款勳章到俄羅斯帝國的獎章制度。聖安娜勳章依照得獎人身分,分為民事和軍事兩種版本,後者以交叉的長劍作為裝飾。勳章分為四個等級。

等級配戴方式
一等大綬,附一枚星章
二等領綬
三等胸綬
四等佩掛於刀鞘

勳章外觀為鑲金的紅色等邊十字架,十字架之間的空隙以金質花草作裝飾。正面中央為鑲金邊的白色圓盤,圓盤上彩繪站在森林中的聖安娜,即聖母瑪利亞的母親形象。若得獎者為非基督徒,改以象徵帝國的雙頭鷹取代聖安娜。

背面的白色圓盤是從勳章的拉丁格言「Amantibus Justitiam, Pietatem, Fidem」(獻給熱愛正義、虔誠和信仰的人們),各取格言頭一個字母作為設計的藍色花押。聖安娜勳章頂端以圓環銜接綬帶,配色為鑲黃的紅色綬帶,配戴於左胸位置。
