The Order of the Gallic Francisque (French: L’ordre de la Francisque gallique) is an order and medal which was awarded by the Vichy Regime, the Nazi-aligned government of France during World War II. The order was created by the arrêtés of 26 May 1941, the law of 16 May 1941 and the decrees of 14 March 1942 and 31 July 1942. The Francisque was the personal symbol of Philippe Pétain, Marshal of France and Head of State. Although the personal symbol of Philippe Pétain, the francisque was gradually used on official documents as the coat of arms of the Vichy regime. Source: Wikipedia (en)
