The Military Order of Merit was one of the numerous orders of merit of the Persian Empire. The jewel of the order was a lightblue enamelled cross with three arms. The order's centre featured a purple medaillon featuring the imperial crown of the Pahlavi dynasty.[1]
The cross was laid on a wreath of palmleaves and two crossed scabbards, all in silver, and the ribbon was light blue with red borders.
The order was abolished due to the 1979 Islamic revolution.[2]
