The Wurttemberg Military Merit Medal in Silver was instituted in 1818 to be awarded for military merit. Wilhelm II became king on 6th October 1891 and the new version of the medal bearing his image was introduced on 26th June 1892. It was suppressed in 1918 when, along with all other German rulers, Wilhelm was deposed at the end of World War I.
