The ribbon of the order

The Most Exalted Order of the Crown of the Realm (Malay: Darjah Utama Seri Mahkota Negara) is a Malaysian federal award. It is ranked lower than the Order of the Royal Family of Malaysia.

Fifteen, out of the total, are conferred on foreign princes, foreign Heads of State and other distinguished individuals. It does not carry any title.[3]

* The nine-pointed star and the crescent moon of the award are made of gold.
* The badge is a five-pointed star with the jawi verse of Allah on top of the crown, which has a crescent and motto "Berpegang Tegoh Pada Allah" below the crown. (The current spelling of the motto should be "Berpegang Teguh Pada Allah", but amendments of the new spelling is not made)
