Some medals are very large and aren’t able to be worn around the neck. These medals may be displayed on a table or in a trophy case. Many medals are made of durable metal or plastic and are stamped with dyes. They can also be cast from a mould. Also, medals don’t have to be circular, as a rectangular medal might be known as a plaquette. Whatever your medal needs are, Baltimore Trophy House is the expert to reach out to.
Although medals have been made from rock, glass, wood, brass, aluminum, nickel, and copper (among many more materials), bronze has been a prominent material used in the creation of them. The oldest known medals were given in the fourth century BC as honorary awards, and they were either gold or silver. Later, medals were given as political gifts to try to sway influence. Medals have also been created as fine art.
Baltimore Trophy House has been inscribing medals for youth sports organizations, churches, school, corporations, and colleges for decades. It is a great way to say thanks, or congratulations, or to just mark a task well accomplished. Our list of happy clients is a mile long.
