This is the size of a button. Several have been made. The Norwegian Order of the Lion was made by jeweller Tostrup in Oslo. King Oscar II was participating strongly in the design as this was to be the high level order of Norway similar to the Seraphimer Order of Sweden and the Order of the Elephant of Denmark. 

However the new King Haakon VII of Norway decided it was to be used for the 11 persons who had received and to be dormant until the last person would have passed away. In 1952 this happened. 

Of the original order sets there are one set after the French President Loubet.  This was a set of the Star and the Badge sold at an auction in France. Today it is placed in the Musee Legion d'Honneur in Paris. 

One similar set after the Swedish prince William is on private hands.

Another similar set also exist and also includes the Lion Collar and also a miniature is in another collection.
