Adolf Hitler traveled on October 14, 1922 in a special train with 650 SA escorts, following an invitation, to the third "German Day" in Coburg. There street fighting and brawls occurred with Communists and Red Front fighters. It was the first violent appearance of the NSDAP outside Munich. In his book Mein Kampf, Hitler particularly highlighted the events as the "March to Coburg" and milestone of the movement. On October 15, 1932, during the Coburg Hitler Days on the occasion of the 10th anniversary, the former participants were decorated with the Coburg Badge of Honor. Thereafter the NSDAP celebrated the events of the "German Day" of 1922 annually.

The Coburg Badge of Honor belonged, along with the German Order, the Blood Order and the Golden Party Badge, to the highest decorations of the NSDAP. In total only 436 "Old Fighters" were decorated with it. Later the party decoration was also awarded honorarily. Until February 1938 there were 418 badge holders, such as for example the former Duke Carl Eduard.

The badge was designed by Louis Walter and modified by Hitler.

The text on the certificate for the award of the party decoration, signed by Adolf Hitler, read:

"The holder of this certificate Party Comrade ... participated in the march in Coburg on October 14/15, 1922. On the occasion of the Ten-Year celebration the Coburg Badge of Honor was awarded to him. Munich, October 1932".

The Badge of Honor of November 9, 1923 was instituted on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the “National Socialist uprising of November 9, 1923” by the Führer of the NSDAP Adolf Hitler. The manner of wearing was regulated by decree on February 11, 1934. The award criteria designated the following eligible recipients:
1. Members of the SA, members of the Bund Reichskriegsflagge and Oberland, which were united in the Deutscher Kampfbund, who participated in the fighting on November 8/9, 1923.
2. Members of the above-mentioned organizations, the police and Wehrmacht, who sided with the putschists and thereby lost their positions or requested dismissal on account of their political stance, regardless of whether they fought or not.
3. Members of the above-mentioned organizations who were set in march for combat operations but did not see action because they were stopped by government forces or failed to reach the deployment location due to force majeure.
The award required uninterrupted membership in the NSDAP before January 30, 1933 or in the SA. On May 30, 1938, the awards that had been suspended on April 1, 1935 were resumed and the circle of recipients was expanded. This included all those imprisoned who had served a prison sentence of at least 1 year in the Weimar Republic for their struggle for the NSDAP movement in Germany and Austria. Of the 1st Model of the Blood Order, only 1,500 awards were made from 1934 to 1935. Of the 2nd Model, pieces with award numbers up to approximately 4300 are known.
