Description

This medal was initially sanctioned by Queen Victoria in 1896 and bears the Old Head of Queen Victoria and the legend ‘Victoria Regina’ on the obverse while the reverse has the central figure of a charging, impaled lion above a collection of native weapons and shields.  The reverse was originally inscribed with ‘Matabelend 1893’ and it was later extended to cover ‘Rhodesia 1896’ and ‘Mashonaland 1897’.  The ribbon is golden yellow with three dark blue stripes placed equally across the field. The scroll suspender is extremely ornate.

The campaign predominantly involved Colonial troops although some Imperial units were awarded the medal.
