The five-class (1st to 5th class with annexed medal in gold, silver and bronze) order for civil and military merit was established during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi (1878-1944, reigned from 1925 until 1941) between 1925 and 1939, probably on February 5, 1935, to replace the Order of the Lion and the Sun. With the abdication of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (1919-1980, reigned from 1841 until 1979) in 1979, the order ceeded to exist.
