Physical Description and Item Details


Medal for Merit, Bronze Grade, Type V - Tsar Ferdinand I (bronze, 27.5 mm). Original ribbons, very light contact, near extremely fine.

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 II medals feature the portrait of Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria on the obverse, have an obverse inscription that translates to “Boris III Tsar of Bulgaria,” and may or may not have a surmounting Imperial crown with flying pendilia.

The Bronze Medal was awarded to Non-Commissioned Officers and low-ranking Officials.
