The originally four-class (1st to 4th class) order for civil and military merit was instituted by King Mongkut (Rama IV - 1804-1863, reigned since 1851) in 1869 (1st model), basing on the 1861 office insignia [„Dhara Airapot“ resp. „Dhara Chang Pheuak“] which only can be considered as precursors of the order. In 1873, by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V „The Great“ - 1853-1910, reigned since 1868), the insignia of the order received a more modern design, and a 5th class was added. In 1889, the badge of the 2nd class was changed from an 4th-class (Officer’s) decoration two a 3rd-class (Commander’s) decoration.
