History


The Order was based upon the Order of Merit of the Hungarian Republic, in the Orders of the Republic of Hungary (1944-1949).

It was awarded to Hungarian citizens and foreigners in recognition of meritorious service in the realm of international co-operation, as well as for service to the Hungarian People’s Republic.

The awards may feature the emblem of the Hungarian People’s Republic from 1949-1957, or the emblem employed from 1957-1990.

There were approximately 169 I Class grades conferred.
