Order of the Crown (Iran)

Former Iranian award

The Order of the Crown (Farsi: نشان ای تاج) known as the Nishan-i-Taj was founded in 1913 (1332 AH)[1] by Shah Ahmad Shah Qajar before his coronation as the highest dynastical and state order. Until 1926 it existed in two classes (with breast star and sash for both). The 1st class had a collar (neck chain with badge as a pendant) reserved for the Shahanshah and the Crown-Prince. The Order was preserved in Iran after the fall of the Qajars. Until the reform of the Order in 1938/39 the sash was blue with thin green-white borders, but after the reform was corn-yellow with sky-blue edges.
