TheOrder of al-Hussein bin Ali is the highest order of the Kingdom ofJordan. It was founded on 22 June 1949 with one class (i.e. Collar) by KingAbdullah I of Jordan with the intended recipients being foreign heads of state and senior royals.[1]
Unlike other Jordanian orders, the Order of Hussein bin Ali has only one class and is the kingdom's only collar-grade award.
In 1967, a second class of the Order was instituted as the "Sash of Hussein bin Ali," by order of a decree ofKing Hussein. This decree was rescinded by King Hussein in 1977 and it reverted to having only one class. Recipients of the Sash during this period were automatically upgraded to the Collar in 1977.[2]
