The "Mother's Cross" (in German: Mutterkreuz) was a German decoration awarded during the Nazi era to mothers who had given birth to a certain number of children as a means of encouraging population growth and promoting a "traditional" family structure. The cross came in various classes and colors, and the gold version was awarded to women who had given birth to eight or more children.

The "Mother's Cross in Gold" was a high-ranking version of this decoration, and it was typically made of gold or gold-plated material. It was accompanied by an etui, which is a small case or box used to store or display the decoration. The etui for the Mother's Cross in Gold would have been used to keep the medal safe and well-preserved.
