The Order of the Supreme Sun (Nishan-i-Lmar-i-Ala) was a decoration of the former Kingdom of Afghanistan.
The Order was instituted in 1920 by King Amanullah Khan[1] and discontinued in 1973[2] upon the abolition of the Afghan monarchy. It was awarded for services to the state and had four grades (Collar, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Classes) and a Medal of Merit.
The Order's ribbon was blue with a central red stripe (until 1960). After 1960 the Order's ribbon was sky blue with two red lateral stripes.
