Order of Nichan Iftikhar - (1832-1957)
Founded in a single class in approximately 1832 by Husayn II bin Mahmud Bey, the Tunisian Order of Glory was eventually expanded to six classes. Details and images of this somewhat complex Order will be set forth in a separate section.

Order of El Ahed-El-Aman - (1860-)
This Order was established on January 16, 1860 by Mohamed Es Sadok to honor the 1857 treaty with France, which made Tunisia a Protectorate. The Order, composed of two classes (Grand Cross and Commander) was reserved for high-ranking government and military officials and designed to recognize exceptional acts. The medal is a ten-rayed green enamel star, which represents the various arms of the Tunisian government. The Arabic inscription inside the circle of green emeralds reads, THE HONOR OF MANKIND. The planchet is suspended from a green enamel Saber of Islam.
