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 174 II Class grades conferred.

See the Hungarian Order of Merit, HUN102, in the Hungarian Regency (1918-1944), the Order of Merit of the Hungarian Republic, HUN149, in the Republic of Hungary (1944-1949), and the Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary, HUN236, in Hungary (1989-) for more information.
