Size one, which is very similar in design to the middle size badge of the Order of George IV, with diamond laurels of oak leaves and acorns surrounding a portrait of the King encircled in diamonds.
The only recipient of this size was Queen Alexandra.
Her badge is held by the Royal Collection Trust (RCIN 441449 - 80mm x 50mm), and can be found online at... Family Order of King Edward VII. Queen Alexandra's badge 1902
