GUIDELINES TOWARDS BEST PRACTICE FOR MEDAL COMMISSIONS AND COMPETITIONS
Medals have been associated with honour and glory since they first appeared during the Italian Renaissance.
Originally made to commemorate individuals and events, they have been presented as prizes and awards since the
eighteenth century.
The commissioning of a medal provides considerable benefits to any organisation or private patron. It projects a recognition
of high achievement and reflects the acceptance and wish of the client to mark a significant occasion by an act of generous
patronage of the arts. The commissioning is an important event and these guidelines seek to demonstrate the best practice
towards ensuring a fair and equable basis for client and designer.
FIDEM, using their full experience have prepared the following to help all those interested in the medal. The guidelines
have received the approval of the United Kingdom Royal Mint
The guidelines can be retrieved and printed out from the enclosed pdf.
ADVICE TO ARTISTS
It is not always easy for an artist new to medal-making to find their way around the world of commissions, exhibitions, copyright and so on. It was to meet this need that a version of this advice document was presented by Australian artist Michael Meszaros at the FIDEM congress in Weimar in 2000. The text was then adjusted by the author in the light of constructive comments made at the time.
