MEDALS BY HISTORICAL TIMELINE

Historical timelines are never easy to chart and track.

Given that milled Asia-related medals were first produced by the Western nations during the Age of Sail, the medals presented here are categorized according to the historical periods in which they appear or point towards.

MEDALS BY COUNTRIES & REGIONS

Medals are sorted by the country in Asia where the person or event is depicted, not by country of origin.

This categorization makes the stories behind each medal easier to share and relate to.

Some jurisdictions might already not exist such as French Indochina, which was disestablished in 1954.
