The table on the following pages lists all the known obverse reverse combinations.
A question mark following the type number indicates that details of the medal have been deduced from similar types but have not been confirmed.
As all clasps, except those in silver, are plated over brass or bronze, the clasp medal refers only to the colour of the plating of the clasp.
When the ribbon is listed as orange this indicates that it is made of orange coloured silk. Some early Edward VII medals have a pale blue ribbon instead of white.
An asterisk after the ribbon colour indicates that the ribbon has an attached bar with the inscription 'TEN YEARS'.
An asterisk after the clasp metal indicates the clasp is enamelled in blue, and has; '• XI •' and 'YEARS' to either side of the date. The (possibly) unique eleven year medal of 1902 does not have the date engraved on the clasp, an oversight? Also, this medal is attached to the ribbon in the same manner as the lower medals, i.e. with a ring piercing a small hole in the medal. All later silver medals are attached using a military style swivelling clasp. The details of the 1903 silver medal are currently unknown.
The silver medals, series E2S, for 1908 have no silver hallmark, but are stamped 'SILVER' on the medal edge, and 'STERLING SILVER' on the clasp. The 1909 medals bear no silver markings. The ten years medal is known only from Cedric Dry's book.
The reference to the number of bars in the 'G2' issue indicates the number of bars, in addition to the clasp, attached to the red white and blue ribbon common to all this issue. The first, fourth and seventh year medals have only the clasp and the date bar. The second, fifth and eighth year medals have the clasp, a date bar and a bar bearing an olive sprig. The third, sixth and ninth year medals have the clasp, a date bar and two bars bearing olive sprigs.
