Initial design (1993–1999) The decoration consists of a silver five-pointed mullet composed of dual-edged rays superimposed with 3 gold-plated spears (one positioned vertically, two others in a sidelong cross) and 2 crossed golden
sabres. A round golden shield resting on top of them contains concentric white and blue circles. The bottom part of the blue ring carries a red
ribbon with ДАҢҚ written on it and gold laurel branches pointing outside. The white circle is adorned with a gold bow superimposed with three arrows.
Current design (since 1999) Class I decoration is a silver rippled eight-point star with a similar smaller mullet (this one with faceted rays) superimposed on it. A round gold
shield with nested white and blue circles rests on top of two crossed sabres and a
spear in the center of the mullet. The bottom part of the blue ring carries a red ribbon with ДАҢҚ written on it and
gold laurel wreaths pointing outside. The white circle is adorned with a gold bow superimposed with three
arrows. A nested smaller star of blue enamel carries the central medallion of the order decoration. The order is worn on a 100mm-wide shoulder cordon. Class II order is similar to Class I decoration, though smaller. A suspension connects the star to a ribboned metal top bar. The tincture of the cordon matches that of the national flag of
Kazakhstan, the right rim is adorned with a wide red stripe. == Order coin ==
