Description
Original Item – Only One Available. This Star of Military Merit medal originates from the Central African Republic (CAR) and was awarded for acts of bravery and distinguished service during combat operations. This example is associated with personnel of the Wagner PMC operating in the Central African Republic, where such decorations were issued in limited numbers to recognize personal courage and operational merit under combat conditions.
The medal features the characteristic five-pointed star with central sword motif, encircled by a laurel wreath, symbolizing valor, service, and military honor. The reverse bears the motto “Unité, Dignité, Travail,” confirming official state symbolism and intended institutional use. The medal is suspended from its original yellow ribbon and retains its correct period mounting hardware.
In recent years, a portion of CAR military decorations have been manufactured in Russia for official use, particularly those associated with security cooperation and foreign military assistance. As a result, original examples connected to Wagner era service have become increasingly difficult to obtain and are now rarely encountered on the open collector market. This medal represents a scarce modern combat award with direct relevance to contemporary military history, making it a highly desirable acquisition for advanced collectors of PMC-related decorations and modern African military orders.
