The insignia was created by Spink & Son with some changes over the years.^[2] The ribbon of the first three classes is white with a purple and green striped border. The first class has a star and sash ribbon with a badge, the second class has a star and a neck ribbon with a badge, and the third class has a neck ribbon with a badge. The badge is an eight pointed star with alternating purple and green enameled points and the national emblem of Oman in the center on a white enamel background with a green enamel border. The first class badge also has silver five pointed stars between each enameled point. The star is the same design as the badge with a background of silver rays behind the enameled points.^[3]
