The
Ordre de l'Étoile d'Anjouan
(Order of the Star of Anjouan) was a French colonial order of knighthood founded in 1874. It was established in 1874 by sultan
Mohamed-Saïd-Omar
of the
Comoros
island of
Anjouan
, reorganised on 18 June 1892 and authorised and recognised by the French government on 12 September 1896. It was made a French Overseas Order in 1950.
In this case a local order was adopted by the French, although they reorganised and redesigned it. Another Anjouan orde, the
Star of Said Ali
was not adopted.
The Ordre de l'Étoile d'Anjouan has five classes:
Grand-croix, Grand-officier, Commandeur, Officier and Chevalier
. It was not awarded from the institution of the
Ordre national du Mérite
in December 1963 (it is one of the
historical orders of France
) until its revival in 2000 by the sultan of Anjouan.
