Miniature circular bronze medal with laterally pierced ball suspension; the face with a crowned mantle bearing the letter ‘W’ (for Willem); the reverse with the crowned national coat of arms imposed on an array of trophies and inscribed ‘VOOR TROUWEN DIENST’ (for faithful service); diameter 22.3mm (0.87 inches); on replaced correct ribbon.

The Decoration, usually referred to as the Medaille voor Trouwe Dienst (Medal for Faithful Service), was instituted by King Willem I on 19 February 1825 to reward long and faithful service by professional soldiers and sailors below the rank of officer. The bronze medal was gained after 12 years’ service (6 years in the colonies).

In 1851, the word ‘TROUWEN’ in the inscription on the reverse was changed to ‘TROUWE’.
