(Orden Nacional al Mérito). Instituted October 8, 1921. A Grand Cross Set, comprising a Sash Badge, in silver gilt, a twelve ray badge with red enamels, with segments of green enamel wreath weaving over and under alternating rays, the obverse medallion in silver gilt portraying three mountains with a smiling sun, the inscription reads REPUBLIC DEL ECUADOR AL MERITO, the reverse plain, 55.75 mm (w) x 60.88 mm (h), weighs 114.35 grams (including ribbon), worn on a full length sash in yellow, blue and beige silk, a lovely decoration though missing the wreath suspension, extremely small enamel chip to the 4 o’clock ray, dark patina in the center, remains in very fine condition.
The Star of the Order, presenting a silver Maltese cross with scaled arms and ball finials, segments of wreath in each quadrant and between the knees of the arms, the obverse oval medallion in multi-coloured enamels presenting snow capped green mountains with a blue sky and gilt sun, the reverse of the star with a raised barrel hinge, vertical round wire pinback, and rightward-facing round wire catch, with two downward-pointing stays for secure attachment to an uniform, unmarked, measuring 69.45 mm (w) x 73.93 mm (h), weighs 68.42 grams, enamels intact, heavy gilt loss and oxidation to star, in very fine condition.
Footnote: Born in 1898 in Mexico, Luis Padilla Nervo developed an early passion for politics while studying law at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. His career on the global stage began in 1945, when he signed the United Nations Charter on behalf of Mexico at the San Francisco Conference. Padilla Nervo made history as Mexico’s first Ambassador to the United Nations and served as a member of the United Nations Security Council. In 1951, he reached another milestone by becoming President of the General Assembly during its sixth session. After his time at the UN, Padilla Nervo held several key positions in Mexico’s government, serving in the Ministries of Education, Interior, and Labor. His distinguished career continued with his election to the International Court of Justice, where he served as a judge from 1964 to 1973—becoming only the second Mexican to hold that position. In recognition of his lifetime of achievements, he was honored with the prestigious Grand Crosses from over 30 nations celebrating his enduring contributions to diplomacy, law, and public service.
