 The highest Tsardom Of Bulgaria award was the Order Of Saint Cyril And Saint Methodius awarded to those who brought outstanding excellence to the culture of the Tsardom Of Bulgaria (The People's Republic Of Bulgaria also created an Order of the same title in three classes but that was a far lower level award for merit in education and science and is not to be confused).These "medals" were "issued" or "awarded" by various groups and organisations including government departments but were/are not fully recognised as officially awarded medals and were/are not authorised for official wear on official uniforms.That being so this does not mean by any means that these medals were simply just for sale to all comers and were/are still often held in high respect by those who were given them.
