The Order's Medal of Merit is awarded in two stages for military merit and for civil merit. According to the decree, the order is an “award” and not a knightly order . His motto is "Polsa, tschest i slawa" ( "Польза, честь и слава" , "Benefit, honor and fame").

The medal is a golden, red enamelled cross on which the Russian double-headed eagle is placed. In the middle there is a shield with the image of Saint George fighting the dragon .
