    Australian Active Service Medal 1975+ (AASM 75+): mounting options explained

    Every replica medal can be supplied loose or mounted ready to wear. Here's how the options differ, so you can choose the right one.

    Court mounted Required for serving ADF members

    The medals are fixed to a stiff backing board so they sit flat and stay in line while worn. It's the neatest presentation, and serving members of the Australian Defence Force are required to wear their medals court mounted.

    Swing mounted Traditional style

    Each medal hangs freely from its ribbon below a top bar. This was the usual style from the Boer War through to World War II, and there are no fixed rules about who can wear it.

    Ribbon bar For everyday uniform wear

    Just the ribbons, mounted in order of precedence on a small bar. Ribbon bars are worn on uniform day to day, when full medals would be impractical.

    Unmounted Medal and ribbon supplied separately

    The medal and ribbon come as separate parts, ready for you or your mounter to assemble. Full size medals come with 30cm of ribbon and miniatures with 15cm.

    Full size or miniature?

    Miniatures are mounted the same way at a smaller scale. They're worn at evening and formal events, generally anything after 6pm such as dinners, where full size medals would be impractical.

    Pin or magnetic?

    Every style comes with a traditional pin or a magnetic fitting. Magnetic mounts hold firmly without putting holes in your jacket or uniform, and are easier to put on and take off, which helps anyone with limited dexterity.
