FAQs

The Imperial Service Medal was instituted in 1902 by King Edward VII to reward long and meritorious service by administrative and clerical civil servants throughout the British Empire.

These medals are generally struck in silver or bronze, featuring enamel detailing on the obverse, and are presented with a silk ribbon housed in a leather-covered cardboard case.

Authentic pieces feature crisp die-stamping, correct regal ciphers corresponding to the issuing monarch, maker marks such as Elkington London inside the case, and often an engraved recipient name on the rim.

Such items are traditionally displayed within shallow shadow box frames on a library or study wall, or kept securely within their original presentation cases on a bookshelf.

Store them in a stable environment away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent silver tarnishing, fabric fading, and deterioration of the leather case.
