| Preston's artistic medals |
A medal does not have to be made of metal to be called a medal.
Historically, medals were almost always metal—bronze, silver, gold—so the word itself comes from that tradition. But in modern usage, “medal” refers more to the purpose and form (a wearable, commemorative, or award disk) than to the actual material.
Today you’ll find:
-
sports medals made of plastic or resin
-
children’s award medals made of wood
-
collectible or commemorative medals made of ceramic, acrylic, or even glass
They are still commonly and correctly called medals because the term is tied to their symbolic function as awards, not strictly their composition.
So as long as the object resembles the typical form and serves the purpose of a medal (an award or commemoration), the material doesn’t disqualify it.

Preston has been stepping up of late to create great looking medals for some of our local events. Many thanks to him for all the time and effort he puts in to make things fun for all!!!
