Army medals from Gallant are recognitions for heroic performances in military service. It is the duty of the country to reward a person for his or her committed service. They are issued according to the suggestions from the Defense department. In the US, the first army medal was the "badge of military merit," established by General George Washington on August 7, 1782, during the revolutionary war. Later several other medals were introduced to recognize the remarkable services of the army.

Gallant's Academic Medals are not only awarded to school and college students but are given to those who excel in science and technology, engineering, medical sciences and other academic fields. Many people receive medals from the state government or are honored by national governments for breakthrough inventions they have made. The Dannie Heinemann Prize for Mathematical Physics is an important academic medal, as is the American Physical Society award presented by the American Institute of Physics, which is for outstanding lifetime contributions to humankind. Gibbs Brothers Medal -- Naval architecture, Marine engineering is awarded by the National Academy of Sciences.

Many sports agencies may take orders for manufacturing medals in gold, silver, and bronze. They require you to engrave the copy of a logo on a disc as per choice and send it across to them. The graphic design team of the medal company builds on the given sample and screen-prints the logo on a disk. Appropriate colors are selected to complement the design depending on the sport or event or country. This is then sent out to the workshop where the final medal is prepared. Customers may need to place an order 2 weeks in advance to manufacture a medal. Prices may range anywhere from $7.50 to $15 per medal.
