Numismatics (Coin & Medal Collecting)

Ambulance long service and good conduct. Should be in front of CFM though.

It does come after the CFM in the order of wear. Incidentally it looks like that needs updating to reflect the recent jubilee and coronation medals.

I do notice the CFM is one below the Queenā€™s Medal (For champion shots of the Air Forces) in the official list of priority for medals.

And the fact we now have a Kingā€¦

That as well!

On a different note, does anybody know what this medal is? Itā€™s in Guernsey if that helps. I initially though Lt Gov but thatā€™s all-green, not green and black.

Interesting that the CFM is above the RFA Service Medal and the Ambulance Drivers medal (they are both relatively new medals) but Iā€™m surprised itā€™s above the Royal Observer Corps Medal.

Iā€™m surprised the ambulance one is so far down the list when police and fire are substantially higher up. Iā€™m happy to stand corrected though

Itā€™s the age of the awards I think 1951 for the Police 1995 for the Ambulance Service.

Desperately looking for a reference, but Iā€™m quite sure there comes a point where miniatures too are to be overlapped. Itā€™s just rare anyone gets to the point where itā€™s deemed necessary.

I believe the point at which itā€™s necessary is officially when medals span centre of chest to left arm seam.

Too many redirects on the link, so canā€™t follow!

Try now. If it still doesnā€™t work look up Legs Medal Mounting on Instagram! Itā€™s his 4th most recent post.

Shudders.

Is that your friend from before?

I think Instagram was disagreeing with Apple private relay.

Great example. Good find.

Something to aspire to.

Iā€™ve got a coronation miniature on pre-order and it wonā€™t come for a few weeks. Not sure how that has arrived so quickly!

Incidentally, this is one reason why I think wearing ribbons on working dress would be great. I think thereā€™s huge value in displaying what youā€™ve achieved, both as a talking point, but also to inspire new-joiners (or cadets) into exemplary service themselves.

We donā€™t do it for the medals, but we shouldnā€™t forget the value they hold. Shame to only see them a couple of times a year (and normally in miniature form).
