It was awarded for distinguished artistic, literary or scientific service in the commercial or industrial field or for long service to the country or in Africa. It is awarded in the following classes: Grand Cross Grand Officer Commander Officer Knight 2 Palms (gold and silver) 3 medals (gold, silver and bronze).
