History
History
Single-class Order of Dank was established with Law No. 2069-XII On State Awards of the Republic of Kazakhstan dd. April 1, 1993. It was reserved for law enforcement officers. Law No. 462-1 (dd. July 26, 1999) divided Dank into 2 classes and gave it a new design. After that change, the order was designated for the top-ranking officers and generals of Kazakhstan's armed forces, National Security Committee, General Prosecutor's Office and Ministry of the Interior.
Classes
Classes
Order of Dank has two classes: • Dank Order, Class I — consisting of a star and insignia on the shoulder ribbon. • Dank Order, Class II — consisting of a star-shaped decoration on a ribbon. Class I, as the highest honor, is only conferred upon holders of Class II.
Initial design (1993–1999)

A round golden shield resting on top of them contains concentric white and blue circles. The bottom part of the blue ring carries a red ribbon with ДАҢҚ written on it and gold laurel branches pointing outside. The white circle is adorned with a gold bow superimposed with three arrows.

A round gold shield with nested white and blue circles rests on top of two crossed sabres and a spear in the center of the mullet. The bottom part of the blue ring carries a red ribbon with ДАҢҚ written on it and gold laurel wreaths pointing outside. The white circle is adorned with a gold bow superimposed with three arrows. Class I star is made of silver, its eight points terminate in rubies. A nested smaller star of blue enamel carries the central medallion of the order decoration. The order is worn on a 100mm-wide shoulder cordon. Class II order is similar to Class I decoration, though smaller. A suspension connects the star to a ribboned metal top bar. The tincture of the cordon matches that of the national flag of Kazakhstan, the right rim is adorned with a wide red stripe.
