History

On 28 August 2021, the visionary Sovereign Lord Mayor of Ameristralia, David I, introduced the Conspicuous Bravery Medal as a prestigious recognition for Ameristralian combatants who have displayed extraordinary bravery and courage in the face of danger. This esteemed honor was proposed to the esteemed Municipal Assembly, who wholeheartedly embraced the idea and officially approved the Conspicuous Bravery Medal as one of the highest military distinctions in Ameristralia.

Initially, the medal featured the Ameristralian Coat of Arms, which remained in use from September 2021 to April 2022. However, as part of a comprehensive overhaul of Ameristralia's orders, decorations, and awards, significant design changes were implemented. In April 2022, a new design was unveiled, removing the former Coat of Arms from the medals. This redesign aimed to create a cohesive and consistent visual identity across all decorations within Ameristralia's distinguished recognition system.

Previously, the Conspicuous Bravery Medal was presented with a silver clasp attached to a rectangular ribbon. However, with the introduction of the new design, the medal underwent a remarkable transformation in its appearance and presentation.

This comprehensive revamp of Ameristralia's orders, decorations, and awards underscores the nation's unwavering commitment to honor and celebrate the exceptional acts of bravery and valor demonstrated by its esteemed military personnel. The Conspicuous Bravery Medal stands as a symbol of utmost respect, admiration, and gratitude for those who have demonstrated extraordinary courage and selflessness in the face of adversity. It serves as a timeless testament to the indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication of Ameristralian combatants.
