History
The Order of the Taegeuk was an order of chivalry of the Korean Empire that was given to military or civil officials. It was divided into eight classes. It was part of the establishment of orders on April 17, 1900 by Emperor Kwangmu, the last King of Joseon and the first Emperor of Korea, with awards starting to be issued as of April 22nd. The size of the medal varied by the eight classes that were issued. The III Class Neck Badge was issued to officials who had already received the IV Class Badge and worked admirably for four or more years after having received it. Foreigners were able to receive these orders but recipients and classes were decided by the government.
