The Laurel of the Great Isle Union

Description:
The Laurel of the Great Isle Union is a gold medallion suspended from a tricolor ribbon of crimson, ivory, and deep blue — symbolizing courage, unity, and steadfast loyalty. The medallion bears the crowned profile of a sovereign surrounded by laurel leaves, emblematic of honor bestowed by both the Crown and Parliament. No words or inscriptions are present, allowing the imagery itself to convey the dignity and solemnity of the award.

Its design reflects the harmony between royal authority and civic duty, as well as the balance between valor and service. The gold signifies the enduring value of contribution to the realm, while the laurel wreath represents both victory and the peaceful prosperity that follows great achievement.
