United Nations Peacekeeping Medal

Except for Korea and the initial United Nations Emergency Force in the Sinai, a standard medal has been issued by the United Nations for Peacekeeping operations. A distinctive ribbon is created for each operation. Some counries authorise nummerals to be affixed to the ribbon to indicate multiple deployments. Separate entries exist for some specific peacekeeping operations in which Western Australian army personnel have played a major role or which are in close geographic proximity

United Nations medals awarded for peacekeeping and related duties follow a standard design. The medal is fabricated of a bronze-coloured metal over a non-metallic core with a diameter about 36mm to 40mm. Variations in colour occur between production batches of the medal ranging from dark bronze to a gold like lustre. The obverse UNFICYP medal features the emblem of the United Nations, which consists of a world map surrounded by two olive branches symbolizing peace. The emblem is raised or embossed to create a three-dimensional effect. The words "United Nations" or the abbreviation "UN" may also appear on the obverse. The reverse is normally plain or bears the motto In the service of peace although variations do occur
