Austria, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Medal of Merit in Gold, Signum Laudis
The Golden Medal of Merit was established in 1890 by Emperor Franz Joseph I and was awarded to recognize outstanding civil and military achievements. The obverse of the medal features the emperor's portrait, while the reverse bears the inscription "SIGNUM LAUDIS" within a laurel wreath. The medal was worn on a red ribbon for civilian awards, or, in the case of military awards, on a military ribbon with crossed swords. The gold version represented the highest rank of this medal and was therefore awarded quite rarely.
