Description
It comes in four types: Type 1 (1936), Type 2 (1940), Type 3 (1940–41), Type 4 (1970).[3] For everyday wear, the order had a symbol in the form of an order bar. Until 1961, the bar of the order was rectangular metal, covered with colored enamel. Since 1961, the enamel strips have been replaced by strips covered with ribbons in the order's colors.
