As with the Ludwig Gold Medal, a medal with the inscription "FOR MERIT" was established for services to industry, industry, agriculture and commerce. Silver medals were awarded for their own achievements or for outstanding services in the field of science and art. It was awarded by the king himself or at the request of the ministry. The presentation included a document and an announcement in official sheets. The medal was subject to return. The front side is made by J. Rhys, a stampelschneider in Darmstadt. The reverse of the medal was created by Carl Friedrich Voigt. Since 1829 he was a medalist of the Bavarian Mint. Prior to that, he worked in Berlin. The medal was awarded only 35 times from 1914 to 1918 and significantly less frequently than the Ludwig Gold Medal.
