it is the only Spanish civil honour that confers personal nobility, with the right to an individual coat of arms (with heraldic mantle and pavilion), an official style of address (Excellency), and full membership in nobiliary corporations

Another fun fact I saw is that Jorginho is also the equivalent of a Knight in Italy, a Cavaliere Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana, or Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, the country’s highest honour.
