The army led by Louis and Adolf of Nassau defeated the Spanish, but politically it was no success.
The other side has the inscriptions "1292" (in that year that Adolf of Nassau-Weilburg was crowned as King of the Romans) and "1858" (this was the year of creation of the order by Adolphe, Duke of Nassau), in gold letters on a white-enamelled background.
On 8 May 1858, Duke Adolf of Nassau established a Military and Civil Order of Merit for the Duchy.
When the Diet met near Frankfurt the following year, they were discouraged to appoint Albert, thus they elected a cousin of one of the Electors, Adolf of Nassau-Weilburg.
