History

The Rupprecht Medal was established by Crown Prince Rupprecht on May 18, 1925. The medal was awarded in recognition of services rendered to the patriotic idea. It was conferred upon individuals who were close to the Crown Prince.

There are only 12 Medals of pure gold, as they were accidentally produced by the Munich Mint.
