Certificate of Merit

A Certificate of Merit is not a physical place or cultural site, but rather an official document or award given to recognize and honor an individual’s or group’s exceptional achievement, service, or performance. Historically, such certificates have been used by governments, military organizations, schools, and institutions to formally acknowledge contributions without necessarily bestowing a medal or monetary prize. They serve as a tangible symbol of appreciation and a formal record of commendable deeds.
