These medallions eventually were donated to the Barony of Caerthe for use as Gilded Leaf medallions, for the Barony's AoA-bearing A&S award. (In a funny twist of fate, Mirza Jibra'il received one of these back when he was admitted to the Order.)

This enameled piece with double-woven trichinopoly cord was made during a Jewelers' Guild of Caerthe enameled jewelry workshop.
