TURKEY: Abdul Aziz, 1861-1876, Osmani Nishani order, ND, Order of Osmanie 3rd Class, seven-pointed dark green enamel, silver and silver-gilt star with ball-tipped finials and with three short faceted silver rays between each arm, on crescent and five-pointed star suspension; the face with a circular central red enamel medallion bearing a raised silver crescent and inscribed in gilt Arabic letters ‘Relying on the Assistance of Almighty God, Abdül-Azîz Khan, Sovereign of the Ottoman Empire’ within a circular green enamel ring; the reverse with a circular central silver medallion bearing a trophy of arms with crossed standards and drums, an oval plaque above bearing the date ‘699’ (AD1299), the year of the foundation of the Ottoman Empire; with new ribbon, but orginial green velvet case embosed with golden Tughra on cover with numeral "3" in Arabic, EF.
The Order was instituted on 4 January 1862 by Sultan Abdül-Azîz and became the second highest order of the Ottoman Empire.
