The six-class (originally five-class) order (Collar, Grand Cordon, Knight Commander, Commander, Officer and Knight) for civil merit in Liberian or African affairs was instituted in 1920. Its design probably followed the insignia of the Royal Portuguese Order of the Conception of Our Lady of Vila Viçosa.
