Order of the Spanish Republic

The Order of the Spanish Republic (Spanish: "Orden de la República Española") was founded in 1932 in the Second Spanish Republic for civil and military merit to the state.[1] It replaced the orders of merit of the former Spanish Monarchy and had the mural crown instead of the royal one.
