''The insignia of the order for men'' was an eight-pointed silver star, with the top ray obscured by a crown; the golden central medallion bore the Cipher of the reigning monarch surrounded by the legend 'For Faithful Service'. This was suspended on a ribbon of crimson with a blue central stripe. ''The insignia of the order for women'' had the same medallion as for men, surrounded by a silver Laurel wreath and topped by a crown. This was suspended on a bow of crimson with a blue central stripe. Non-managerial Civil Servants who complete 25 years service are elligible for the Imperial Service Medal upon retirement. The medal is a silver circular medal bearing the effigy of the reigning monarch on one side, and the motif of a naked man resting after work with the legend 'For Faithful Service' on the other side. The ribbon or bow pattern is the same as the Imperial Service Order. During the 1993 reform of the British Honours System the British Government decided to make no new appointments to the Imperial Service Order; the Imperial Service Medal, however, continues to be awarded. Also various Commonwealth Governments continue to nominate candidates for the Order and the Medal. SEE ALSO
