WW2 Canadian Efficiency Miniature Medal With Canada Bar

The WW2 Canadian Efficiency Miniature Medal with Canada Bar is a scaled-down version of the full-size Efficiency Medal awarded to non-commissioned officers and other ranks for long and efficient service in the Canadian military during the Second World War. The miniature medal typically measures approximately 18mm in diameter and is suspended from a ribbon featuring a distinctive green color with crimson edges. The included “Canada” bar signifies that the recipient served within the Canadian forces. The obverse of the medal generally displays the effigy of King George VI, while the reverse bears the inscription associated with the award. Miniature medals such as this one were often worn on mess dress or for formal occasions when the use of full-size medals was not required. This particular decoration reflects the tradition of recognizing exemplary service among Canadian military personnel during the 1939–1945 period.
