History

This Order was conferred in recognition of merit within a range of civil fields, and for meritorious civil services that fostered peace in Hungary and co-operation with other nations.

The Order was amended in 1963 and 1976. In 1963 the IV Class and V Class grades were abolished. While in 1976 a green enamelled laurel wreath was added to the III Class.

The Order was permanently abolished in 1991.

The III Class may also be known as the IV Class.
