Military Medal of Menelik II, which has basically been replaced by the Military Medal of Merit of the Order of St. George. Emperor Menelik’s original Military Medal, created in 1901-1902, was principally given to military figures in the immediate entourage of the Emperor.1Montandon, Dr George: Au Pays Ghimirra: Récit de mon voyage à travers le Massif éthiopien. In his brief description, published in 1913, Montandon briefly mentions that the medal was to “décernéo à des soldats d’escorte, etc.”
