The Royal Victorian Medal (RVM) is a decoration established by Queen Victoria in April 1896.[1] A part of the Royal Victorian Order, it is a reward for personal service to the Sovereign or the royal family, and is the personal gift of the Sovereign.[2] It differs from other grades of the order in appearance and in the way it is worn.[3]
The medal has three levels – bronze, silver, and gold. Medal bars may be awarded to each level of medal to denote subsequent awards.[4] Recipients may continue to wear their original medal if they are awarded a higher level for further service. The medal may also be worn in addition to the insignia of the Royal Victorian Order if the latter is subsequently awarded.[4] Recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters RVM.[5]
