Coronation Medal for emergency service workers

The Medal acts as a thank you gift from the nation to commemorate the Coronation for the people who will make the historic service happen.

The ribbon is made up of red, blue and white vertical stripes - the colours of the Union Flag and are made of nickel silver and plated in nickel.
