The symbol of the Order of Tusin

The Order of Tusin , also known as the Order of Knights of Tusin , is assigned to the Order of Austria and Bohemia. The time of the foundation, the founder and the reason for the foundation are not known for certain. The year of foundation is assumed to be 1562. The attempt to clarify the meaning of the word tusin has so far not led to any reliable result. Knights are said to have been awarded this medal in the wars against the Turks .
