Order of Glory (Tunisia)

Each bey having put his monogram on the center of the decoration, it is possible to determine the approximate award date of each order.

The typical decoration is manufactured from solid silver with green and red enameled rays for some classes.

The reverse of the decoration as well as the bow and suspension ring may have jeweler, date, and acceptance markings.

These particular decorations were awarded by Muhammad III as-Sadiq Bey (1859–1882) and illustrate the differences that can exist between French and local Tunisian manufactured decorations: Awardees were given a diploma which in general had the following text (translated): Praises with God alone!

On behalf of the Servant of God glorifié, of that which puts as a God his confidence and the care of its destinies leaves him, [name of the bey], Possesseur of the Kingdom of Tunis with [name of the decorated person] on the proposal of Our Foreign Minister, which made known to us your noble qualities, We conferred this decoration to you.
