Canadian Forces Miniature CD Medal With 2 Bars

The Canadian Forces Miniature CD Medal With 2 Bars is a scaled-down version of a large, full-size medal awarded by the Canadian military. This particular item features not only the basic Decoration for Officers (CD) medal but also two additional bars, indicating an extended period of honorable service. These medals are typically awarded to members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have demonstrated exemplary dedication to duty for 12 years, with each bar symbolizing an additional 10 years of service. This miniature version of the CD medal measures only a few inches in length and maintains the same design elements as the full-scale model, including the royal effigy on the obverse side and crossed swords, a laurel wreath, and the word “CANADA” on the reverse side. The bars are small horizontal decorations affixed to the medal’s ribbon. As a replica, it is typically used for everyday wear or display, rather than ceremonial occasions.
