MASRIERA AND RACE.
Magnificent decoration "Grand Cross plate of the Order of Civil Merit" made in 18 K yellow gold, diamonds and enamel. Awarded in the time of Alfonso XVIII. Signed.
The Civil Merit Order aims to reward civil merits acquired by personnel dependent on any of the Public Administrations or by people outside the Administration who provide or have provided relevant services to the State, with jobs extraordinary, profitable initiatives or with exemplary constancy in the fulfillment of their duties. It is awarded to Spanish or foreign citizens who have achieved civil merits. It was instituted by King Alfonso XIII by R.D. of June 25, 1926. The Second Republic abolished said Order by Decree of July 24, 1931, being restored with its previous characteristics, privileges and seniority by Decree of November 7, 1942. It was updated by R.D. of November 6, 1998, with the approval of the current Regulation. The Grand Cross is granted to Senior Management, Generals of the Armies and the Civil Guard, or to relevant Spanish and foreign persons, requiring its approval by the Council of Ministers.
