Maurician medal

The Maurician medal is an honorary degree granted to a member of the Italian Armed Forces after 50 years of service.

The medal was established by Charles Albert of Sardinia as Grand Master of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus by a letters patent on 19 July 1839 under the name "Maurician Medal to the Military Merit of Ten Lustrums".

It was further regulated with royal decree of 21 December 1924 and detached from the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus after World War II.

The "Maurician Medal to the Military Merit of Ten Lustrums" was replaced, by Law Number 203 of 7 May 1954 (modified by Law Number 1327 of 8 November 1956), with the "Maurician Medal to the Merit of Ten Lustrums of Military Career."
