History
This medal founded by Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, and it was conferred upon Non-Commissioned personnel and civilians in recognition of merit or gallantry in peacetime and wartime.
The medal was instituted as a complimentary award to the Order of Merit.
The reverse inscription always translates to “For Merit.”
It was awarded on a solid red ribbon for peacetime merit, and a blue ribbon with silver striped edges for wartime merit.
The Type I medals have an obverse inscription that translates to “Alexander I Prince of Bulgaria,” and they were issued twice.
The medals issued first feature the young, beardless portrait of Prince Alexander I of Bulgaria on the obverse. The medals issued later feature the older bearded portrait of Prince Alexander I of Bulgaria.
The Gold Medal was only awarded to high ranking Ministers and Officials that were already recipients of a I Class Bulgarian Order award.
