History


The Order of the Star (Nishan-i-Astour) was established by Amir Abdu'r Rahman around 1901. The Order originally awarded in a single class in recognition of faithful service provided to the nation. The Order was later modified and expanded into 4 Classes by King Muhammad Zahir Shah.

Recipients of the original Type I award were entitled to land grants.

There is expected to be additional versions associated with the Order which vary by design and composition according to the time period or monarch of institution. However, due to uncertainty and complexity surrounding the award, these are not featured here.
