This is an order of the “Nishan-e-Pakistan,” the highest civil award of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The award is divided into four classes, and this piece belongs to the third class.

The order is housed in a light green leather presentation case. The lid of the case features a metal nameplate engraved with the abbreviation “SPK,” indicating that this order was officially commissioned by the Government of Pakistan and manufactured by Spink, a historic British auction house and medal manufacturer.

The order is crafted from 14 kt gold and consists of ten golden rays emanating from a central enamelled medallion. The obverse medallion features a gold-bordered dark green background, symbolising Pakistan’s Islamic faith and national flag colours. At its centre is the emblem of Pakistan, which is a circular shield divided into four quadrants: the upper left contains a cotton flower, the upper right depicts a tea stalk, the lower right features four jute stalks, and the lower left showcases a sheaf of wheat.

The reverse of the order features a gold disc decorated with green enamel, devoid of any additional text or ornamental designs.

The top of the order is connected to the ribbon by a five-pointed star-shaped suspension. The ribbon mimics the design of the Pakistan flag, featuring a green-bordered white background with two delicate green stripes running through the centre as decoration.

The Order of Pakistan was established in AD 1957 and is awarded to citizens or foreign nationals who have made significant contributions to the country. Each year, on Pakistan’s Independence Day, August 14, the government announces the list of recipients. The order is formally presented by the President during the following year’s Pakistan Day celebrations.

這是一枚巴基斯坦伊斯蘭共和國的最高民事獎勵「巴基斯坦勳章」，勳章總共有四個等級，本物件為第三等的勳章。

這枚勳章安置於淺綠色皮革的收納盒，收納盒的盒蓋有一塊刻有「SPK」縮寫字樣的金屬銘牌，代表這枚勳章是巴基斯坦官方委由英國歷史悠久的拍賣行暨獎章製造商「斯賓克」製造。

勳章材質為14 kt金，由黃金材質的十道光芒和中央的琺瑯圓碟共同組成。勳章正面的圓碟是帶有金邊的墨綠底色，墨綠象徵巴基斯坦的伊斯蘭信仰和國旗配色。正中央則是巴基斯坦的國徽，即分劃為四個象限的圓型，左上角是棉花、右上角是茶葉桿、右下角是四株黃麻莖、左下角則是一束綑綁的麥穗。

勳章背面則是綠色琺瑯裝飾的黃金圓碟，沒有任何多餘的文字或圖案彩繪。

勳章頂端則以一枚五角星造型的懸掛銜接綬帶，綬帶配色模仿巴基斯坦國旗，即綠邊白底的綬帶，正中央還有兩條纖細的綠色條紋作為裝飾。

巴基斯坦勳章創設於公元1957年，其頒發對象為替國家做出重要貢獻的公民或是外籍人士。每一年8月14日的獨立紀念日當天，巴基斯坦政府會對外公告本年度的得獎者，並且在隔年的巴基斯坦日會由總統親自接見和頒發勳章。
