The Dunbar Medal is a campaign medal of the Commonwealth of England and was sanctioned by Parliament in 1650 to be awarded to officers and other ranks of the New Model Army who participated in the Battle of Dunbar on 3 September 1650. Two versions were produced; one in gold for officers, and one is silver for other ranks. The Dunbar Medal is thought by historians and numismatists to be the first ever military medal to be eligible to every man present in a campaign or engagement, irrespective of rank. It was worn by a cord or chain around the neck.
