Jordanian honours and medals / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan personal bravery, achievement, or service are rewarded with honours by the King. The honours system consists of two types of award:
- Orders are used to recognise merit in terms of achievement and service – of either a civil or military nature;
- Medals are used to mark commemorative events, service on a particular operation or in a specific theatre, long or valuable service, and good conduct.
Appointments to the various orders and awards of other honours are usually published in the kingdom's Official Gazette.
