Description: The Gold and Silver medals for zealous service were awarded by the Kingdom of Serbia and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The medal, in two classes, as Gold and Silver, was established on April 19, 1913, and was awarded for demonstrated excellent and zealous service on the battlefield during the Balkan and First World Wars. In the interwar period, the statute of the medal was changed and adapted to peacetime conditions, when the medal was awarded for demonstrated excellent zealous service in peace and war. The last period of awarding of this award was the time of the Second World War when it was awarded by the Yugoslav Government in emigration for services in this war.Medals for zealous service were awarded in the name of the King, and at the proposal of the Minister of Defense, according to the proposals of the commanders of lower military units. The medal was worn on a blue ribbon on the left side of the chest. The authorship of the medal is unknown, but due to its stylistic similarity to the Silver Medal for Courage from 1912, most researchers attribute it to the sculptor Đorđe Jovanović. The charters for both degrees of the medal were created by the artist Đorđe Čarapić. The medals were originally minted by the Swiss company "Braća Igenin" and the Parisian company "Artus-Bertrand", but after the unification in 1918, the domestic workshops "Grizbach i Knaus" from Zagreb, "Fran Sorlini" from Varaždin and "Kovnica A" took over the production of the medals. . D.” from Belgrade. After the Second World War and the creation of the second Yugoslavia, all decorations of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia were abolished, including the Medal for Zealous Service, which ceased to exist as a state decoration. For the type of merit for which it was awarded, new decorations with a different conceptual sign were established. The deposed Karađorđević dynasty continued the awarding of old decorations with historical names, now as private decorations. With the collapse of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the tradition of the Medal for Zealous Service was renewed, when the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia adopted its own medal, which is partially conceptually based on the Medal for Zealous Service from 1913. With the disintegration of this state union, the Republic of Serbia adopted its Medal for Zealous Service in 2009, which is based on the Medal for Zealous Service from 1913.
