The Hungarian Order of Honour (Hungarian: Magyar Becsület Rend) was established in 2011 by Act CCII of 2011.[1] Although the law does not mention the hierarchy, it proposes that the Hungarian Order of Honour is the third highest state award in the Hungarian honours system, after the Hungarian Order of Saint Stephen and the Hungarian Corvin Chain.

Ribbon of the Hungarian Order of Honour

According to the text of the law, "the Hungarian Order of Honour is awarded in recognition of outstanding service or heroism in the interests of Hungary and the nation." A maximum of thirty medals may be awarded each year. In all cases, the honours are awarded by the President of the Republic on the recommendation and countersignature of the Prime Minister or the Minister concerned. The medal is usually awarded on a special occasion, usually a national holiday such as 15 March or 23 October, to commemorate a significant event in Hungary's history. A maximum of 30 awards are permitted to be awarded to Hungarians per year.[2]
