British Army Korea Campaign Miniature Medal

The British Army Korea Campaign Miniature Medal is a scaled representation of the full-size Korea Medal, which was awarded to British and Commonwealth personnel who served in the Korean War between 1950 and 1953. The medal features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, with the reverse displaying the inscription “KOREA” above imagery symbolizing service in the conflict. The ribbon comprises a central yellow stripe flanked by dark blue edges, reflecting the colors associated with the United Nations and service in Korea.

It is also utilized for commemorative purposes and as part of formal attire for veterans and military personnel.
