Order of the Alawite Throne

The order was established on January 11, 1913 by Sultan Yusuf with the aim of rewarding for devotion to state power, but already on May 15, 1913 the order became one of the French colonial awards.

As in most cases for the French colonial awards, the Order of the Legion of Honor was taken as a sample.

During World War II, a large number of orders of the Alawite throne of various degrees were awarded to members of the US Army, members of Operation Torch , which are part of the Allied forces.

Given that from 1912 to 1956, Morocco was under the protectorate of France , many French were presented for awarding the Order of the Alawite Throne.

With the independence of Morocco in 1956, the order of the Alawite throne was transferred to the king of Morocco and was preserved in the state award system.

The Order of the Alawite Throne has five degrees:

• Chevalier of the Great Ribbon
• Great officer
• Commander
• the officer
• Cavalier

The badge of the order is a golden five-pointed star of white enamel with a red border with a round medallion in the center, with gold balls at the ends. Between the rays of the star are two palm branches of green enamel. The medallion of red enamel with a gold border has an Arabic inscription in gold in two lines: "His Majesty Yusuf."

The reverse of the sign is similar to the obverse, however, the central gold medallion with a red border bears the image of a red umbrella - a sign of sheriff's dignity.

The sign with the help of a transitional link in the form of a wreath of two palm branches is attached to the order ribbon.

The star of the order is silver five-pointed with the image of the sign of the order.

The order ribbon from 1913 to 1956 is orange.

Since 1956, the ribbon of the order has undergone changes, turning orange with white stripes lagging behind the edge.
