Such an award is not just a medal, but a memory for a lifetime, cherished by families and shown to children and grandchildren. It serves as a reminder of the years spent studying and the connection with the university.
The commemorative medal "Veteran University 1923" is awarded to graduates, faculty, and staff of the educational institution with a century-long history. It symbolizes recognition of achievements and a long-standing contribution to the development of education. The medal is presented to university veterans at ceremonial events, anniversary celebrations, and graduation ceremonies as a sign of respect and gratitude.
The central part of the medal is circular with a raised composition. At its heart is the inscription "VETERAN UNIVERSITY 1923," surrounded by the state symbol and laurel branches framing the text. Around the outer circle, in bright blue enamel, the inscription "KYIV NATIONAL UNIVERSITY NAMED AFTER TARAS SHEVCHENKO" is engraved in gold letters. The contrast between the gilded center and the rich blue edging creates a ceremonial and festive appearance for the award.
The medal is made of 3 mm thick brass using a chemical engraving method — this technique allows for clear inscriptions and fine details. The gold plating shines beautifully and protects the metal from tarnishing. The bright blue enamel is applied using a hot method, ensuring the color remains vibrant for many years. The size of 40×43.7 mm makes the medal noticeable and substantial.
The moiré ribbon in yellow and blue colors resembles the Ukrainian flag and academic traditions. The ribbon features a characteristic wavy pattern with shimmering effects. The attachment of the ribbon to the medal is strong and reliable.
