Definizione

• Table Medal.  A medal not intended to be worn, as is a decoration, pin or badge, and therefore "lie on the table." Table medals, obviously, do not have loops for suspension or any device for attaching to a garment. By extension a table medal could be any medal, awarded or not, that has no suspension and cannot be worn (this could include many kinds of medals – historical, commemorative, commercial, even art medals – so table medal is not a precise term).
