Medallions

Medallions are often designed to attach to a broad collar, which may be short or long in length, or to attach to a bow, ribbon or rope. Collars can range in quality from a ribbon to heavy, ornate chains of precious metals and stones.

Today, the term medallion is often used interchangeably with medal, and may sometimes refer to large coins. However, a medallion is more substantive then a medal, in size, thickness, and weight. The size of a medallion allows the artist to create large, bold, or elaborate custom design.

Origin of Custom Medals

Custom Medals date back to the 4th century BCE.

KINGPINS

Origins of Medals

The first documented use of a medal was in the 4th century BCE. Alexander the Great offered a golden button as a gift to a prominent Jewish high priest. Throughout time, the use of custom medals shifted to being a symbol of importance and wealth. During the Middle Ages, the powerful made custom medals which were embossed with their portraits. These medals served as gifts, but more importantly they told others of an alliance with the person on the medal.

Medals for athletic achievements are one of the more common uses for creating custom medals. Gold, silver and bronze medals have been goals for athletes since the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis

Is there any better symbol of achievement that stands out better than a medal? A medal not only serves as a reminder of success, but it is something that can be worn proudly and passed down to future generations. Medals can be awarded for success in athletics, academics, military and many more efforts.

Militaries around the world created custom medals to signify achievement and service to their country, this tradition is still very much alive today. Higher ranking military officials proudly decorate their uniforms with medals gained from a vast amount of achievements.

Early History

Medallions were often used to identify success and importance. In the Middle Ages the wealthy and powerful would engrave their portraits and emblems on medallions. Medallions were custom made, with various designs, sizes and materials used. The militaries around the world continue to use medallions as a way to showcase achievement, rank and nationality. Medallions are coveted by athletes as a sign of perfection in their sport.

Early examples of European collar regalia date to Middle Ages, c.1300, in France and England. Small bronze medallions were used in Roman times, as early as c.100 to commemorate some victories by Trajan.
