Medal

"Barbara, Barbara, I'm sorry. You've been amazing." "I know, and I think I deserve a little appreciation, that's all." "I do appreciate it. The entire East India Trading Company will thank you for it. Why, you'll probably get a medal." "I'd rather have some new perfume."

- Benedict Huntington and Barbara Huntington

A medal, or medallion, was a small, flat, and round (or, at times, oval) piece of metal that has been sculpted, molded, cast, struck, stamped, or some way marked with an insignia, portrait, or other artistic rendering.

A medal may be awarded to a person or organization as a form of recognition for military or various other achievements. In the proper use of the term, medallions are larger, starting at perhaps four inches across, and were, as such, usually too large to be worn very comfortably, though in colloquial use, "medallion" was sometimes used to refer to a medal used as the pendant of a necklace or for other types of medals.
