This medal was most usually awarded for pre-eminent gallantry, and is most often found in instances where a policeman came under direct attack from armed assailants. Also known as the Reward of Merit.
Most examples of this medal were awarded between 1920 and 1921. Anyone with such a medal in their possession may be able to find out more about the circumstances it was awarded for by contacting me directly (use the Interact/Message Me link to the left below my avatar).
