      The Military Merit Cross was established on October 22, 1849 by Emperor Franz Joseph I, based on the recommendation of Field Marshal Count Radetzky. It was to be awarded only to military officers who had performed especially praiseworthy service before the enemy in wartime, or outstanding service in peace time.

      These reproduction medals are die-struck with white enamel edged in red enamel, with a center medallion also of white enamel edged in red enamel, on which the word "VERDIENST" (merit) appears , broken into "VER" and "DIENST" to fit the center. These also feature the War Decoration wreath, which during World War I would have been gilt as opposed to earlier versions which had a green wreath.
