Insignia

The original ribbon for the order was predominantly dark blue, with narrow edges of red and green. In 1987, the ribbon was changed to feature a lighter blue, with edges of green and edge stripes of white, mimicking the colors of the nation's flag.[3] The badge of the order is a metal facsimile of the Mosotho coat of arms, with the horses enameled in orange with black manes, and the central shield featuring a green enameled crocodile.
