Two Bavarians and one Saxon were decorated for their service in the Boxer Rebellion. During World War I, awards to officers of Austria-Hungary's allies became far more common, especially to Germans serving alongside Austro-Hungarians or serving in regiments of which the Emperor was the honorary chief. From the earliest days of the decoration, the Austrian Emperor also reserved the right to make awards of the Military Merit Cross with Diamonds. This was not a special class, but a token of esteem.

Kölliker was ennobled by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria in 1897 and thus permitted to add the predicate "von" to his surname. He was made a member of the learned societies of many countries; in England, which he visited more than once, and where he became well known, the Royal Society made him a fellow in 1860, and in 1897 gave him its highest token of esteem, the Copley medal. A species of lizard, Hyalosaurus koellikeri, is named in his honor.Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011).

Over the years, the grave became rather neglected but has now been restored by Villa supporters led by Jeff Hilliar. The following poem was written shortly after Ball's murder: > Twas on a Sabbath evening in drear November days > Two friends were heard creating, in Perry Barry's byways > High words just fed the anger, now this young man's life is fled. > A shot and then another! And Thomas Ball lies dead.

Ptolemy, king of Mauretania, was rewarded for his real loyalty by the title rex, socius et amicus populi Romani ("king, ally and friend of the Roman people" i.e. puppet-king). As a special token of esteem, the ancient ritual was revived, whereby the title was conferred in person by a Roman senator, who travelled to the king's capital with an accompanying gift of triumphal regalia: an ivory baton and a toga picta (all purple, with embroidered gold border). Ironically, that same toga eventually caused Ptolemy's downfall, according to the Roman historian Suetonius. Many years later, in AD 40, the Mauretanian king wore it on a state visit to Rome as guest of the emperor Caligula (ruled 37–41).

Supporting his argument with archival documents and interviews with the descendants of Van Meegeren's partners in crime, Lopez suggests that these rumors about Van Meegeren had a strong foundation in reality and, indeed, that much of what the forger said about himself in 1945 was untruthful. Not only was Van Meegeren a professional art forger for most of his adult life, but he was also a fascist sympathizer going back as far as 1928. During the occupation, Van Meegeren had created propagandistic artworks (under his own name) at the behest of the German- installed puppet government of the Netherlands and even sent an admiring note to Adolf Hitler in 1942 as a token of esteem."Hitler en Van Meegeren," Op. cit.

He was knighted by George VI in 1939; it was thought that this token of esteem had been delayed by his mockery in 1911 of the king's parents, about whom he had written a satiric verse, "Ballade Tragique a Double Refrain"..

Despite the session's political give-and- take, Thompson was recognized by his senate colleagues for his evenhanded leadership. At the close of the session, all of his colleagues, including the senate's two Democrats and both of the Republican senators who did not vote for him at the beginning of the session, lauded his leadership."Thompson is Given Token of Esteem by Other Senators", Oregon Daily Journal, Portland, Oregon, February 20, 1915, p. 3. Thompson and Governor James Withycombe, both Republicans, agreed that Bernard Daly, Lake County's long-time county judge and a Democrat, was the right person to be Lake County's new district court judge. As a result, just three days after the 1915 legislative session adjourned, Withycombe appointed Daly to Lake County's new district judge position."Daly Get Plum in Lake County", Oregon Daily Journal, Portland, Oregon, February 23, 1915, p. 13. Thompson filed for re-election to his state senate in January 1916."W. Lair Thompson is a Candidate for Senate", Daily Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, January 26, 1916, p. 4.

The "Kenosis" subtitle refers to a theological concept which centres on the emptying of the self, such as Jesus Christ is considered to have done. The Symphony No.5 in D major was written before No. 4, but was numbered after it since the composer conceived the fourth first. The dedication is to Edward Winston Watson, and was added to the score on 8 November 1980 as a token of esteem and friendship, and in recognition of his provision of support during the composition of the work, which took place at the Villa Clos Collonges in Territet, Montreux, in Switzerland in 1973. The work is in three movements, and the underlying structural concept is a transition from serialism returning to tonality in the finale, this tracing an emotional journey from relative chaos and turmoil into restful tranquility. It is scored for a large orchestra of 99 players and lasts 24 minutes. Strutt's Symphony No.6 in E-flat minor "Eclogues from a Vanished Land" plays for just 40 minutes and is intended to evoke the lost world of Edwardian rural England, especially the countryside which would have been known to the folk-song collectors, Cecil Sharp, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Percy Grainger.
