The reverse of the male award is the same as that of the female award. And both versions do come in bronze, silver, and gold.

firstly thankyou very much for replies to date. can i confirm that the medal came in four grades.gold /silver/silver/bronze? if it is the case are the two silver ones exactly the same ( although for differant years awarded for).was the silver like silver plated ? and the gold plated/painted or sprayed? bronze i take it in its natural metal format. what was it actually awarded for ? was it like faithful service to the RAD. i take it the silver/gold ones were made of poorer metals than the bronze because of the silver/gold colouring afterwards.
