Sorry for trying to be funny. Tony is right, though. "Gong" is just a silly name for a round medal as it reminds some people of a shiny, percussion gong. The medal bar shown below consists of two crosses and four gongs. And at the bottom is a real percussion gong. I suppose it is also a bit of a derogatory term for a round medal since they are typically not as pretty as the crosses.
Best regards,
Tom
