President of Tajikistan Emomali Rakhmon and V.V.Putin with order "Ismoili Somoni" 1st Class. (Sash is blue with green edges.)

There is the order "Glory" ("Sharaf")

[heusy68]

Hello Gentlemen,

I know it won't help much. But currently in Astana, Kazakhstan, I have visited the Museum of the First President of Kazakhstan (and onliest Président). His awards are displayed, but photo are forbidden. But for those who will come here, I Strongly recommend to visit this Museum.

In Year 2000, he had been awarded Order Ismaili Somonli, but a breast badge (so likely following the information above, it should have been a 3rd Class). Ribbon colours of the Order are similar to the sash awarded to Vladimir Putin, ribbon is straight ribbon, not pentagonal type. The quality of workmanship of the badge is great (very good quality). It is a large size, likely 45 millimeters wide, 8 pointed star, with the head of the Tajik historic hero Ismaili Somoni looking left (an old style local crown on his head), a bleu motto with "likely" the name of the Order. The ribbon is dark bleu, with embroidered gold stripes towards the edges.

I have no idea if the badge was in gold or silver-gilt.

I bet if there would be someone that could seek in Tajik language on the web, he will catch some photo. In latin alphabet....likely unsuccessfull.

Best Regards.

   Emmanuel

 

This is Ismaili Somoni, so you have to figure out that on the Order that bear his name, his face is shown from side (with crown).

He was great King of the Samanid Empire from +/- 885 to 907.

You can read down there 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samanid_Empire 

That's very interesting.

   Emmanuel

[heusy68]

I like myself when I dig.

I look the web page of Ismaili Somoni from Samanid Empire, in english first, then click onto Tajik language.

There it was Ordena Ismaili Somoni 3rd Class.

The ribbon I saw yesterday on President of Kazakhstan Museum was a bit darker blue, and the golden stripes were in relief, because likely they seemed to have been manually clothed to the ribbon (embroidered).

I'am really happy to have got a photo, so fast. Now you can all enjoy.
