George Cross Full Size Loose

The George Cross (GC) is the highest civil decoration of the United Kingdom and also holds that status in many of the other countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. This die-struck, museum quality replica medal is struck to the same exacting standards as the original medal.

The National Health Services of the United Kingdom have been awarded the George Cross by Her Majesty The Queen. The award comes in recognition of 73 years of dedicated service, including for the courageous efforts of healthcare workers across the country battling the COVID-19 pandemic.

The George Cross - the highest civilian gallantry award, equivalent to the Victoria Cross - has only been bestowed collectively twice before, and today marks the second time it has been awarded collectively by Queen Elizabeth II.

Whilst the award is to the NHS and not individuals it must be noted that the purchase of this medal is accepted it may not be worn by NHS employees past or present
