Mitya Ivanov Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) These versions with "rays 360-degrees" are the earliest versions of the order's badges: the sun has face there (he lost it officially before 1939. None of "5-rays" versions has face). One more proof: these 360-versions were put in OLD boxes: with Qajarian - and NOT PAHLAVI! - Imperial crowns (Arthus Berthrand utilised these old boxes in such a curious way). In fact the emblem in the 360-versions' medallions follows the sun on the Qajarian box (the design of this emblem - with face and full shining - belongs to Hugo Gerhard Stroehl, end of 19th century).
