The study reacts to the exhibition on Emperor Sigmund in 2006 that in its catalogue brings some incorrect results on insignia of the Hungarian Order of Dragon that arose in 1408 as a formal justification of the Barons Leage. The order was revived in 1411 in connection with its use as a diplomatic means. The author in detail analyses the genesis of the order insignia that represented a dragon winded into a circle. In 1416 the ruler added to it a flaming cross in a vertical distance. The author analyses a motive of a cruciform wound on the dragon´s back, deals with an issue of existence of a kolany order and considers an alleged insignia of the ruler´s grave to be only a jewel.

Key words: Phaleristics. Hungary. Sigmund Luxembourg. Order of Dragon.
