This Medal of Merit was established after King John took office around 1854 and is the 2nd form of this award. The front side seal is still from Ulbricht. Due to the short award period, these medals are extremely rare. They were awarded only in silver with a circulation of only 12 pieces. They were unacceptable.
The Agricultural Merit Medals were first awarded around 1838 with the image of Frederick Augustus II. awarded with gold, silver and bronze. The 2nd form of medals was awarded with a portrait of King John. The 3rd form depicts a portrait of King Albert on the obverse. The front side stamp was created by Bardulek in 1874. The reverse stamp was taken from previous medals and taken from Karl Reinhard Krueger. The gold medal (50 mm) was awarded only 1 time. Silver and bronze medals are 52 mm in diameter. The weight of the silver medal is about 72-74 g, the bronze - about 76 g. All medals until then were non-removable and had on the front side the manufacturer's designation - M.BARDULECK FEC. Wearable medals were then issued in reduced form in silver and bronze. Whether these medals were issued along with the untouchables, I could not determine.
Round silver medal with raised border.
