Thank you, the only info I could dig so far that it's 68mm in diameter and there is hallmarks on the pin. Don't you think it's strange, we know nearly everything about Order of Victory and such misery with Order of Freedom. Besides, there is no enamel on the order. white gold rubies, diamonds.

in 1999 it was awarded to general Dragoljub Ojdanić and commander of 3rd army of Yougoslavia Nebojša Pavković
