Medals have been awarded to military and civilian personnel for exceptional achievements for centuries, and some are extremely rare and valuable. This set of trading cards features the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration which is, or has been, awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" to members of the armed forces of various Commonwealth countries, and previous British Empire territories.

The Silver Star, also pictured on one of these fine cards, is the third-highest military decoration that can be awarded to a member of any branch of the United States armed forces.

The Iron Cross was a military decoration of the Kingdom of Prussia, and later of Germany, which was established by King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia and first awarded on 10 March 1813 in Breslau. In addition to during the Napoleonic Wars, the Iron Cross was awarded during the Franco-German War, the First World War, and the Second World War.
