Comment

Did you know?

The creation of the three Military Valour Decorations (the Victoria Cross, the Star of Military Valour and the Medal of Military Valour) was approved on February 2, 1993, but their award is retroactive to January ¹, 1993.
None were awarded until October 2006, when the Canadian mission in Afghanistan created circumstances conducive to meeting the award criteria. Although 94 Canadians were awarded the British Victoria Cross between 1856 and 1982, no one has yet received its Canadian counterpart.
One of the 18 Stars of Military Valour awarded was awarded posthumously.
A recipient of the Star of Military Valour may add the initials "É.V.M." after his or her name.
It is possible to receive the Star and Medal of Military Valour more than once, but the recipient receives only one insignia. A bar is added to the medal ribbon for each additional decoration.
The insignia was designed by the late Bruce W. Beatty, C.M., S.O.M., C.D., who was responsible for the original design of many of Canada's honours badges, including the Order of Canada.

Packaging

The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.

Le saviez-vous?

La création des trois décorations de vaillance militaire (la Croix de Victoria, l'Étoile de la vaillance militaire et la Médaille de la vaillance militaire) aété approuvée le 2 février 1993, mais leur attribution est rétroactive au 1^ER janvier 1993.
Aucune n'a été attribuée avant octobre 2006, lorsque la mission canadienne en Afghanistan a créé des circonstances propices au respect de ses critères d'attribution. Bien que 94 Canadiens aient reçu la Croix de Victoria britannique de 1856 à 1982, personne n'a encore reçu son pendant canadien.
L'une des 18 Étoiles de la vaillance militaire attribuées l'a été de manière posthume.
Une personne décorée de l'Étoile de la vaillance militaire peut faire suivre son nom des initiales « É.V.M. ».
Il est possible de recevoir l'Étoile et la Médaille de la vaillance militaire plus d'une fois, mais le récipiendaire ne reçoit qu'un seul insigne. On ajoute une barrette au ruban de la médaille pour chaque décoration supplémentaire.
L'insigne a été conçu par le défunt Bruce W. Beatty, C.M., S.O.M., C.D., à qui on doit le motif original de plusieurs insignes du régime canadien de distinctions honorifiques, notamment celui de l'Ordre du Canada.

Emballage

La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le boîtier est assorti d'une boîte protectrice noire.
