The main difference of early type and late type. Left is early, right is late.

Re: Medal For Merits Comparative Guide.
This third variation displays a very sharply angled first letter on the reverse. It has a very strong pointed "elbow" akin to a 7.

Re: Medal For Merits Comparative Guide.
This fourth variation has a slightly finer and deeper font than the third variation.

Re: Medal For Merits Comparative Guide.
Here is another variation with a fine font and a "rough" reverse.

Re: Medal For Merits Comparative Guide.
Here is what could be the latest variation (which is the 11th Variation of Type 2 I've so far found). The reverse is more pebbled than just rough alike many other more modern variations of Medals.
I'm pretty certain that I have more variations on hand but when items come in in large quantities (usually 15-40 of each item), it isn't always possible to give each item a full scrutinise and some variations may be temporarily overlooked. Next year I may well focus some time on finding and presenting all variations in the collection but it is a very time consuming project to sort hundreds of Medals or Orders, sometimes with minimal yet distinctive variation and then present them to the forum in an informative and constructive way.

Re: Medal For Merits.
Here is a very early variation of the Type 2 which will be a contemporary of the "blotchy" example previously posted.
