It was destined to reward Indian Princes and Chiefs as well as British Officers and Civil Administrative who saw their service in India and were signalled for their conspicuous merits. Diplomatically, the first award was done to the heads of the Indian Maharajas and Princes and to the highest British authorities in India. After 1948, no further award was granted. Since 2009, with the death of the last Knight, the Maharaja of Alwar, the Order became dormant.

Kings of Armenia, Tigranes II 'the Great' Æ13. Tigranocerta, circa 80-68 BC. Draped bust right, wearing five-pointed tiara / BA???E?? BA?I?E?N TI?PANOY, filleted cornucopiae; A below, [??] below.

Kings of Armenia, Tigranes IV (Restored) and Erato Æ18. 2 BC-AD 1. Jugate busts of Tigranes, wearing tiara and diadem, and Erato right / [???????C??], the two peaks of Mount Ararat, as seen from the Armenian capital Artaxata; A in exergue. F. Kovacs, Tigranes IV, V, and VI: New Attributions, AJN 20, 5; CAA 128 (Tigranes II?); AC 122 (Tigranes II). 3.06g, 18mm, 12h. Fine. Extremely Rare. From the property of a European Gentleman, privately purchased from Numismatik Lanz 2016-7. This remarkable type was only discovered in 1978, being first published by Bedoukian. Admitting that he could not arrive at a certain attribution, he placed it in his catalogue under Tigranes II, stating that 'it may have been struck by Tigranes when he conquered Cappadocia in 93 BC, forcing the ruling king, Ariobarzanes I, to flee to Rome,' and that the double-peaked mountain on the reverse resembled Mt. Argaios in Cappadocia (CAA pg. 24). It seems that Nercessian merely followed Bedoukian in his placing the coin under Tigranes II without further explanation, although he included a footnote telling the reader to see additional information in a subsequent chapter which he then neglected to provide. More recently Frank Kovacs convincingly argued for assigning the coin to Tigranes IV and his sister-queen Erato. He based his argument on four points: the reverse legend ???????C?? ('Friend of Caesar'), which was previously misread by Bedoukian as KAICAPE?N; the regnal year A in the exergue, which 'implies that Tigranes' earlier reign under the Parthian aegis was illegitimate and that Rome alone had the right to crown the king of Armenia,' and draws parallels to similar instances in the coinages issued by other client kingdoms of Rome; the extreme scarcity of the coins which of course better fit this king's short reign than do the plethora of types and number of extant pieces assigned to him by both Bedoukian and Nercessian; and finally the beardless portrait better fits the youthful son of Tigranes III than do the previously assigned bearded types.
Kings of Armenia Minor, Aristoboulos Æ26. Nicopolis-ad-Lycum, or Chalkis, dated year 17 = AD 70/1. BACI?E?C A[PICTOBOY?]OY ET IZ, diademed head left; c/m: monogram within square incuse / [TIT?] O?[EC?A]C[IAN? AYTOKPAT?P CEBACT?] in six lines [within wreath]. Kovacs 301; Meshorer 367a; Hendin 1258; Sofaer 172; RG 3; RPC II 1692; for c/m: Kovacs 24; Howgego pl. 33, 722.1. 11.60g, 26mm, 11h. Very Fine - Near Blank. A fine portrait. Very Rare. Son of Herod of Chalkis and great-grandson of Herod I the Great, Aristoboulos hailed from the Herodian Dynasty of Roman vassal kings and in turn was granted the kingdom of Armenia Minor in AD 54 by the emperor Nero (Josephus 'Antiquities', XX.158). Though uncertain, his wife Salome is often identified as the young woman whom the New Testament relates danced for Herod the Great and, at the encouragement of her mother, received the severed head of John the Baptist in return (Matthew 14:1-12; Mark 6:14-29). The martyrdom by beheading of John the Baptist is a holy day observed by various Christian churches, and a theme often seen in art, sculpture, music and poetry. A loyal client king of Rome, Aristoboulos supported the general Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo in the Roman-Parthian War of AD 58-63, receiving a portion of Greater Armenia as reward, and in AD 73 supplied troops to the governor of Syria, Lucius Caesennius Paetus, who had persuaded the new emperor Vespasian that Antiochos IV of Commagene was planning to revolt and side with Vologases I of Parthia. Aristoboulos' decision to strike coins in only two years of his reign, years 13 (AD 66/7) and 17 (AD 70/1), as asserted by Kovacs, noted by Hendin (pg. 275), and proven by the clear date on a coin from the only other known issue of Aristoboulos, that which features dual portraits of himself and Salome (cf. Triton XIX, 277 and RPC I, 3839) is significant. The years AD 66 and AD 70 mark the beginning and end of the First Jewish-Roman War, as commemorated in the reverse of the present type which refers to Titus, whom Vespasian had left to suppress the revolt while he himself made his bid for imperial power. The two issues, struck at the beginning and end of the war, honouring first Nero and now Titus, probably therefore represent a public reaffirmation of Aristoboulos' loyalty to his Roman patrons. Also king of Chalkis from AD 57 until his death in 92, whereupon the region was absorbed into the Roman provincial territories, a mint location in Chalkis has been cited as a possibility for the production of Aristoboulos' coinage, though traditionally it has been noted as 'presumably' being from Nicopolis-ad-Lycum, where a specimen was acquired by F. Cumont c. 1900. Given the close proximity of Chalkis to the war in Judaea and the notable similarity in appearance and fabric of these coins to those of Chalkis, a mint location in Chalkis cannot be discounted.
