History

The Order of Gratitude (Nishan-i-Sepas) was founded by Reza Shah Pahlavi to reward lower-ranking government officials and civil servants for distinguished, long, faithful, or meritorious service to the government of Iran or its realms.

Some sources believe that the Order was awarded in 1 Class, while others posit that the Order was awarded in 3 Classes. More research is needed to verify.
