History
Post World War I
After World War I, the Unirasian government belatedly commissioned the medal in order to award Unirasian soldiers who fought alongside the 
German Empire and rest of the components of the Central Powers such as the 
Ottoman Empire and 
Austria-Hungary. The first pieces of the medals to be made were manufactured by the ICM, and distributed to those who fought for the country in July 12, 1928. It had the colors (red and black) of the Old Empire of Unirasia, with the symbol of the Unirasia Armed Forces on the center of it and the White Octagon in the ribbon, two of which still are in the modern version of the order. The government at the time ordered that only gold, ivory and obsidian could be used to make official medals and this still endures to this day.
Post World War II
Just a very few people received the medal as Unirasia tried to stay neutral at all moments, choosing to profit from the war by selling weapons and supplies to both sides.
