History


The Appreciation Medal was founded by Grand Duke Carl Alexander of Saxony on August 25, 1892. It was founded shortly after Carl Alexander had instituted his version of the Merit Medal, to honour commendable achievements and loyal services that were not quite enough for the Merit Medal.
The majority of recipients were foreigners.
