Sultan Mehmed Reşad's Nişan-ı Âli İmtiyaz

The Order of High Privilege (Ottoman Turkish: Nişan-ı Âli İmtiyaz) was a badge of honor created in 1879 during the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II. The insignia bears the Sultan's monogram on a badge decorated with gold diamonds.[1] The badge was attached to a red-green ribbon with a chain containing the moon and star. The cost of the engagement was high.

In 1885, it was awarded to King Christian IX of Denmark.[2]
