Bulgaria. Order of Civil Valour and Merit, 2nd Class
The Order of Civil Valour and Merit (Орден „За гражданска доблест и заслуга“) was established on 4 August 1966 by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria. It was awarded to Bulgarian and foreign citizens for acts of civil courage, particularly for saving lives, protecting state property and combating crime. The 2nd Class was the intermediate grade of this decoration, which comprised three classes.
The insignia takes the form of a five-pointed star with an openwork, radiating central medallion. In this class, the decoration combines silver-coloured and gilt elements, with a white star and the Bulgarian state lion at the centre. The reverse is plain and unenamelled.
