The design of the medal is a round pattern (32 mm and struck in silver), which bears the monarch’s head on the obverse and on the reverse a design with a naked man reclining with the words ‘For Faithful Service’. The ribbon design consists of two red stripes with a blue stripe in the centre. The name of the recipient is engraved on the rim of the medal and all recipients are listed in the London Gazette.
