Leicht gefertigte Medaille mit dem Bildnis des Heiligen Georg zu Pferde und dem Wahlspruch ''Adverso Flumine''(lateinisch für ''Gegen den Strom'') in den Kategorien 'Sport', 'Kultur' und 'Politik' an Persönlichkeiten verliehen wird, die sich um Deutschland, die neuen Bundesländer und um Sachsen verdient gemacht haben [sollen]. Die Verleihung des Ordens an den damaligen russischen Ministerpräsidenten Wladimir Putin im Jahr 2009 und die Laudatio des damaligen Ministerpräsidenten Tillich ernteten viel Kritik; daraufhin wurde der Preis ab 2010 in 'St. Georgs Orden' umbenannt. Aus den jeweiligen Jahren sind die Preisverleihungen mit den dazwischen stattfindenden Show-Acts und die Preisträger ausführlich abgebildet (2007: Maximilian Schell, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, Franz Beckenbauer; 2008: Kurt Masur, Lothar de Maizière, Henry Maske; 2009: Joachim Fuchsberger, Wladimir Putin, Matthias Steiner; 2010: Kurt Biedenkopf, [José Carreras und Michael Jackson postum, vertreten durch seine Schwester La Toya ohne Abbildung]; 2011: Til Schweiger, Roman Herzog, Bob Geldof; 2012: Ornella Muti, Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak [ägyptischer Ökonom], Helene Fischer, Roger Moore).
