      Description


      The badge of the Order is a seven-pointed star of dark blue enamel with a golden rim and with gold strals between the rays in the form of seven dihedral pointed rays of different sizes, arranged pyramidally. At the base of the rays are shortened five dihedral pointed rays of different sizes, arranged pyramidally. In the center of the star is a gold medallion with a wide border, on which a laurel wreath is located in relief.
