Australians were awarded the medal issued by Great Britain. Design The Victory Medal is a bronze medal, 36 mm in diameter, with a suspension eyelet. The obverse has a winged figure of Victory. The reverse has the words ‘THE GREAT WAR FOR CIVILISATION 1914–1919’, all surrounded by a laurel wreath. Ribbon The Victory Medal ribbon has a ‘two rainbow’ design, with the violet from each rainbow on the outside edges moving through to a central red stripe where both rainbows meet. The ribbon was common for the Victory Medals issued by all Allied nations.

Only one emblem is worn no matter how many times a member may have been ‘mentioned’. When a ribbon alone is worn a smaller oak leaf is worn as a ribbon emblem.
