The Order of the Golden Lily (Bosnian: Orden Zlatnog ljiljana), or simply the Golden Lily (Bosnian: Zlatni ljiljan), was a military decoration of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War. It was given to soldiers and officers who displayed exceptional courage, bravery, and strategic skill during wartime.
Although initially, the Golden Lily was the highest war award, on April 14, 1994, the Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the Decree on Decorations, which exclusively mentions the Order of the Hero of the Liberation War as the highest award.
1,742 people were awarded the Golden Lily.
