Why Medals Are Valued Before And Now

By Michael Brown


In the corporate and business world, one way of boosting employees' confidence is by rewarding their achievements. Corporate rewards can have a substantial effect on employees' work performance. It can motivate them to work harder to achieve company goals and strengthen their loyalty to the company. In most companies, employees who continuously perform well receive a medal as reward.

The Meanings Of Medals In The Past

During ancient times noble people, military officers, and other equally distinguished people were the ones typically seen wearing medals. The upper class used these items as jewelry, and the military treated them as awards. Even the religious used medals for their own purposes--as devotional items or protection from either physical or supernatural harm.

There were various examples of medals in ancient times. However, not all medals were made out of costly materials such as precious metals. There were medals made out of gold, but there were also some designed from unusual materials. These include glass medals, terracotta medals, porcelain medals, tin medals, wood and coal medals, as well as paper medals. People at that time saw them all as equally important.

More About Medals

The term "medal" comes from the Latin word "medalia" which is a half-denarius, a round-shaped Roman currency during ancient times. The modern rounded design of medals comes from the original shape of the denarii.

Today, medals are still made from various materials. Because creating a medal from precious metals such as pure gold, silver and bronze can be pricey, there are other options available like electroplated medals. With the current use of a machine press, a medal could be made from any type of material, whether it's fine metal, alloys, and even plastic.

Medals are still valued for the distinction they symbolize. Today's medal makers have created new technology and new designs that have increased the range of medal production. Contemporary forms are no longer limited to the rounded shape of conventional medals. Now you can have a medal cast into other shapes that you think will best show the purpose of the reward and will create a distinct medal form.
