Comment

The medal was instituted on 11 April 1941 to mark the return of Southern Hungary to Hungary. At the end of World War I, Hungary lost almost three-quarters of its territory, amongst them many areas with large Hungarian populations, including Southern Hungary. The award was annulled after World War II and the territory was governed by Yugoslavia.
