Second in order of precedence is the Grand Order of Queen Jelena. Institued in 1995, it is awarded to soldiers for exceptional contribution to the development of war strategies and military doctrine, merit in the development of the Croatian Armed Forces and for particular success in leading and commanding formations.

The badge is a crowned cross of an ornate and typically Croatian design, blue-enamelled and sprinkled with tiny gold crosses. This also appears in the centre of the star.

This is the premier 'Grand Order' in the Republic of Croatia's order of precedence. They all consist of sash, sash badge and star. The sash in every case is a glorious thing: white with one blue edge and one red one, the edges bearing an ornate looping gold pattern (or a double gold/yellow stripe on the ribbon bar).

The Grand Order of King Tomislav was instituted on 20 June 1992, with a revision on 1 April 1995. It is awarded, according to the statutes, to those who have contributed to the improvement of the standing of Croatia internationally, development of international relations, etc... in effect, it is given to foreign Heads of State.

The badge design is based around a large H with ornate scroll-work and red coral, with a central gold medallion bearing an image of a former Croatian monarch on his throne (still working this out, the statues are naturally in Croatian!). The star has the same central medallion.

The version with Gilt Plaitwork was posthumously awarded to the families of Croatian and foreign citizens who, symbolised forever in honourable remembrance, fell in battle for the Croatian State in war, the direct threat of war, or in exceptional circumstances in peace.
The order with Silver Plaitwork was awarded, in their absence, to the families of Croatian and foreign citizens who disappeared in the course of the War for the Homeland.
One source indicates that the Red Petra Zrinskog is the gilt plaitwork and the Red Frana Krste Frankopana the silver version, so two seperate Orders with a common name.
9,940 with gilt or silver plaitwork have been awarded.

This example is the gilt plaitwork version.
