In the top the Arms of the King with the text: Honi soit qui mal y pense. This a maxim in the Anglo-Norman language, a dialect of Old Norman French spoken by the medieval ruling class in England, meaning "shamed be whoever thinks ill of it", usually translated as "shame on anyone who thinks evil of it" It has been used as the motto of the British chivalric Order of the Garter. In current French usage, the phrase may be used ironically to insinuate the presence of a hidden agenda or a conflict of interest. Makers (mentioned on the engraving): Pieter Philippe after a design of: Jacob Toorenvliet.
