Medallions

Medallions are a beautiful ornament designed to commemorate and celebrate something that matters: from a person, to a place or event. They may celebrate a lifetime achievement, a sporting achievement, military service or much more. In fact, the legendary Nobel Prize is a beautiful golden medallion!

Medals are known for their portability, and are usually thin discs. They’ll carry a design, which is usually on both sides. An artist who creates medals or medallions is called a medalist.

Medals and medallions have been used for many thousands of years, and the oldest instance in recorded history is a gold medal sent by Alexander the Great in the forth century BCE. They were used as military awards and political gifts in Ancient Rome, and a common political gift in Europe from the Middle Ages onward.

Medallions have been received with joy by people throughout the ages, and they’ve never been more affordable or customisable as they are now.

Here at Sheridan’s Badges and Engraving, we’ve worked with Perth and Western Australian individuals, businesses, clubs, associations, schools and more. We’re proud of every metal item we’ve created to celebrate and commemorate achievements and milestones for generations, and to be part of the history of Western Australia as it continues to unfold.

If you’ve got something and/or someone to celebrate, a medallion is a great way to do it – and it’s something that lasts. We all love having our achievements recognised, whether it’s goals someone’s kicked (figuratively or literally) in sports, business and life, honours granted, and so on. A medallion really shows that you care.

We take delight and pride in our highest quality workmanship as we create souvenirs for awardees to treasure; not only can they go “straight to the pool room”, but with care taken they can be passed on to the next generation of goal-kickers, MVPs, volunteers of the year and much more.
