Sources:  [1], [2], [3]

Nasser-ed-Din Shah of Qajar, the King of Persia, introduced the Aaftab (Sun) order for royal women. This order was introduced in 1873 specifically for presentation to queens and princesses, including the Empress Augusta of Germany and Queen Victoria, during the shah's European tour in the same year. The shah's wife Anis-ed-Dowleh received it on her birthday in 1888. In 1896, Mozaffar-ed-Din Shah awarded it to the wife of the Ottoman ambassador Shams-al-Din Beg. Usually, the decorations on this order were made of silver. This order came in two classes.

Around the top half of the platinum band, a sunburst arranged in a fan-like design of seventeen separate rays, eight with tips shaped like Gothic arches and nine swallows tails, all completely encrusted in diamonds.
