Central African Republic Order of Central African Merit Knight's Star 1959

Central African Republic: Knight's Star in the 
Order of Central African Merit. 
The Order was established in 1959, in 5 
classes. It is the highest award of the Central 
African Republic and is being awarded to 
Central African citizens (and under special 
circumstances also to foreigners) for 
exceptional merit in the humanitarian, 
economic and social spheres. The awards 
were produced in France by Arthus Bertrand 
(and in some cases by Chobillon).
The maximum number of appointed Knights 
is capped at 150, hence this is a scarce 
award.
The Central African Republic gained its 
independence from France in 1960 (former 
French Colony of Ubangi-Shari (until 1958) 
and later French Autonomous Territory 
(1958-1960)).
