(Redirected from Order of Merit (Hungary))
  

The Hungarian Order of Merit (Hungarian: Magyar Érdemrend) is the fourth highest State OrderofHungary. Founded in 1991, the order is a revival of an original order founded in 1946 and abolished in 1949. Its origins, however, can be traced to the Order of Merit of the Kingdom of Hungary which existed from 1922 until 1946.
