The Honoris Crux Gold was a South African military decoration that existed from 1975 to 1993. It was the second of the four classes of the Honoris Crux Decoration (see also Honoris Crux Diamond, Honoris Crux Silver, and Honoris Crux), and was awarded for outstanding bravery in extreme danger. Five decorations were won in combat, and one in a sea rescue operation.
