Alterations were made to the appearance of the original decoration created by Prince Danilo, and during the rule of King Nikola I Petrović Njegoš the order underwent two restructurings. During the first restructuring in 1861, three classes were introduced, while in the second restructuring, in 1873, an additional fourth class was added, so that not only is there a star in the 1st class but also a 2nd class with star was introduced. By 1922, the order consisted of five classes: Knight Grand Cross, Knight Grand Officer, Knight Commander, Knight, and Cross of Merit.^[1]

Although no longer a state order, prominent Montenegrin officials—including President Filip Vujanović—have been appointed to the order.^[2]

Knight Grand Cross (1st Class)
Knight Grand Officer (2nd Class)
Knight Commander (3rd Class)
Knight (4th Class)
Cross of Merit (5th Class)
