The Medal of Civil Merit in Gold and Silver was first instituted on 6 November 1806 by King Frederick I. They were awarded from 1806 to 1818 and depicted not an image of the king's chest, but the code FR under the royal crown. Under King William I, from 1818 to 1864, medals with a portrait of the ruler in 2 different coinage first appeared. From 1864 to 1891, the obverse depicts King Charles as King of Württemberg. The rear has remained the same since 1840. As before, gold and silver medals for civil merit were awarded.
After the assumption of office of King William II. On June 20, 1892, he was ordered to make new stamps for the front side. It now depicts a portrait of William II. The reverse has been preserved and depicts a dense oak wreath, as in previous parts under King William I and King Charles. On August 11 and September 1, 1892, the statutes of the Order of the Württemberg Crown were changed, respectively. The previous Gold Medal for Civil Merit was attached to the order and became the Medal for Merit of the Order of the Crown. The Silver Medal "For Civil Merit" became an independent award. The new reverse of the medal now has a light oak leaf wreath. During this short award period, the medal was awarded in gold and silver. Because of the very short time, a few months, these medals are very rare. The stamps were made by Karl Schwenzer, medalist and coin engraver of the Royal Mint of Stuttgart. In total, 200 copies of this copy were made.
