Seven-pointed star in silver, with a gold central medallion, around which is a red enameled band bearing four plaques with the words "Zeal, Devotion, Loyalty" and the year AH 1268 (1852) on the bottom plaque. Crescents and stars between each ray of the star. Reverse with pin and 2 hooks. Slightly concave back with the Ottoman Mint hallmark "Darphane Amire" and a silver hallmark just above the mint mark. Established in 1852 by Sultan Abdulmejid I, this order became the quintessential decoration of the Ottoman Empire. The order came in five classes, with the highest class limited to 50 members, and the lowest class limited to 6,000. This limitation did not apply to foreign recipients, however, and many examples were awarded to foreign diplomats, heads of state, and British, French, and German military personnel. The Mejidie order could be awarded to women. Condition: central gold & enamel medallion disattached; has a hairline crack and a small chip; otherwise in very good condition.
