Our Top Picks
The best gold medals for awards depend on how many winners you have: a 12-piece metal-style pack for small teams, a 30-count set for multi-division leagues, and a 100-pack of plastic medals for field days and giveaways. Of the nine options below, seven are gold-only and two are mixed gold, silver and bronze sets. A quantity planner further down shows how to match pack size to your event and budget per athlete. All specs are seller claims taken from the titles, and sizes or materials the title leaves out are flagged.

Each pack in turn
Juvale 1st Place Medals, Pack of 6
The title gives a 2-inch gold medal with award ribbons and a 15.5-inch ribbon, in a pack of six, for basketball, soccer, spelling bees and wrestling. The small pack is useful for a handful of winners, and the ribbon length is one of the few stated in this set. Our data carried no price, so check before comparing.
Pros
- 2-inch size and ribbon length stated
- Pack of six suits small events
Cons
- Small count gets expensive for big groups
- No price available here
Who it’s for: organisers with a few winners, such as a school spelling bee or small tournament.
Hianjoo 12 Pcs Gold Medals
This is a 12-piece set of 2-inch metal award medals with neck ribbons for teens and adults, sports, tournaments and competitions. It is the lowest-priced pack of its size in the set, and the metal wording suggests a more formal look than the plastic options. Confirm the metal claim from listing photos.
Pros
- Metal medals with neck ribbons per the title
- Lowest price tier among 12-packs
Cons
- Twelve medals will not stretch far
- Plain design, no engraving mentioned
Who it’s for: small teams and club events that want a formal-looking medal on a tight budget.
Acrridi 12Pcs 2Inch Gold Medals
Acrridi sells twelve 2-inch gold medals for 1st winners in sports. The title is short and gives no ribbon, metal or plastic detail, so confirm each on the page before assuming neck cords are included. It sits in the mid-range pack price tier.
Pros
- 2-inch size stated
- Twelve-pack matches a typical team
Cons
- No ribbon or material detail in the title
- Mid-range price for a plain pack
Who it’s for: buyers who want a standard-size gold medal and will verify the ribbon on the listing.
Meecuppa 100 Pack Gold Winner Medals
A 100-pack of plastic gold winner medals with a trophy design, for sports, competitions, talent shows, corporate events and party favors. Plastic keeps the cost per medal low, which is its point, though it will not look as formal as the metal-style sets. The title gives no size, so check dimensions.
Pros
- Large count means a low cost per medal
- Suits many event types
Cons
- Plastic material feels less formal
- Size not stated in the title
Who it’s for: big events, school field days and giveaways where quantity matters most.
Favide 24 Piece Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals
This 24-piece pack is Olympic-style, 2 inches, and mixes gold, silver and bronze. That makes it a podium set rather than a gold-only pack, so check how many of each colour you get, since the title does not say. It is in the premium tier of this group.
Pros
- Covers first, second and third places
- 2-inch size stated
Cons
- Not gold-only; the split is unclear
- Premium price tier
Who it’s for: organisers who award three places and want one pack for all of them.
KISEER 40 Pieces Plastic Gold Winner Medals
The title describes forty plastic gold winner medals for sports, games, competitions, party favors and decorations. It sits between the small packs and the 100-count options, which makes it handy for mid-sized events. No size, ribbon or design detail is given, so the listing photos matter.
Pros
- Mid-sized count of forty
- Low price tier
Cons
- No size or ribbon detail in the title
- Plastic material
Who it’s for: mid-sized school or club events that do not need 100 medals.
Remuuly 30 Pcs Award Medal Trophy with Neck Ribbon
Remuuly lists thirty 2-inch gold champion medals with neck ribbons and a trophy design. The count fits a bracket tournament or a multi-team league, and it is the most expensive of the gold-only packs. The title uses a 2 inch mark with straight quotes, so confirm size on the page.
Pros
- Thirty pieces with neck ribbons
- 2-inch size stated
Cons
- Premium price tier
- Material not specified in the title
Who it’s for: leagues with several divisions that want ribbons included.
Meecuppa 100 Pieces Gold Medals for Kids
This listing is nearly identical to the other Meecuppa 100-pack: plastic gold medals for sports, competitions, talent shows, spelling bees and birthday party favors, with a kids angle. Because the two listings overlap, compare photos and any size notes before choosing. Treat it as a near-duplicate rather than a distinct product.
Pros
- Large count for kids events
- Suits party favors too
Cons
- Near-duplicate of the other Meecuppa pack
- Material and size not stated
Who it’s for: children’s events and classroom prizes where supervision is easy.
Favide 12 Piece Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals
The smaller sibling of the 24-piece Favide pack, with the same Olympic-style 2-inch gold, silver and bronze mix. It is less costly overall, but again it is not all gold and the split is not stated in the title. Check the listing for how many of each colour you receive.
Pros
- Smaller pack at a mid-range price
- Covers three podium places
Cons
- Not gold-only
- Colour split unclear
Who it’s for: small events that need first, second and third medals in one pack.
How these were chosen
The Editorial team compared listing titles, published specifications, manufacturer documentation and buyer reviews to group these packs by count, material wording and relative price. Nobody on the team used or measured these units. Overlapping listings are flagged, and every claim about metal, plastic, size or ribbon is a seller statement to verify on the product page.
Planning before you order
A quantity-planning calculation
Medals needed equal winners per category times categories, plus a spare allowance, rounded up to the next pack size. As an assumption-based example, a school field day with five age groups and three places gives fifteen medals; a 10 percent spare brings that to seventeen. A 12-pack would be short, but a 24-piece podium pack or a 30-count set would cover it. If you give a gold to every participant, count the whole roster instead. A second example: in a 12-team youth league where only the champion team of ten players gets gold, you need ten medals plus a spare, so a 12-pack is enough; if every player on every team gets a participation medal, count all 120.
Cost per medal is simply pack price divided by pack count. Because the 100-packs spread the price over many pieces, they usually cost the least per medal, though plastic feels lighter than the metal-style options. Check the current listing price, since it changes, and compare per-medal cost across the 12, 30, 40 and 100 counts rather than comparing pack prices directly.
Size and ribbon
Two inches is common for award medals, and several titles here state it. Larger medals look more impressive but weigh more on a child. Ribbons that are about 15 inches long, like the Juvale listing, loop comfortably over most heads; short or stiff ribbons can be hard to put on. Where the title gives no ribbon detail, confirm it before ordering.
Presentation on the day
Medals look better when handed out in order and in a tidy tray, with the ribbons laid flat. Sort packs by division the night before, and keep a few spares in a labelled bag. Mixed podium packs are easier to hand out when you pre-sort the colours. A short announcement naming each winner costs nothing and does more for the recipient than the choice of metal or plastic.
Metal versus plastic
Metal-style medals suit finals, adult events and anything you want kept as a memento. Plastic suits party favors, classrooms and large groups. If you mix both across an event, give the better medals to the top placings and plastic to participants, and make sure the colours match.
Engraving, stickers and budget per athlete
None of the titles mentions engraving, so assume a plain face. A label or sticker may work for the year or division; try one on a spare medal first. For budgeting, multiply cost per medal by the roster count and compare with what the league or school can spend per athlete. A simple rule is to cap award spending at a fixed share of the entry fee, but set that figure to suit your own event.
If your event covers young players, our guides on kids sports training equipment and basketball size by age may help with planning the season.
Safety with young recipients
Ribbons around a child’s neck call for supervision, and plastic pieces can break into small parts. Check the listing’s age guidance, remove medals during play and keep them away from climbing structures. The titles do not state safety ratings, so treat this as common sense, not certification.
Mistakes buyers make
- Ordering too few, leaving a winner without a medal when a tie or tiebreaker adds a place.
- Assuming a mixed gold, silver and bronze pack is all gold.
- Skipping ribbon length and material, then finding the ribbon is not included.
- Buying two near-duplicate 100-packs from the same brand and ending up with excess.
- Ordering the day before the event with no time for a replacement.
- Forgetting that a tied result may need an extra medal, or that late entries change the count.
- Judging only on pack price, ignoring the cost per medal and the ribbon situation.
Verdict
For a typical club final, Hianjoo (described as metal) or Remuuly (with neck ribbons) offers a more formal look at sensible counts. Favide covers a full podium, KISEER or Meecuppa suit big and casual events, and Juvale fits tiny ceremonies. Confirm size, material and ribbon on the listing, then order a few more than your headcount.

Frequently asked questions
How many medals should I order for a league or school event?
Count winners, not players, then add a spare allowance. For example, three places across five age groups is 15 medals, and a 10 percent spare means 17. Round up to the nearest pack size, and check whether a mixed gold, silver and bronze pack splits evenly before you rely on it, since the titles do not state the split.
Are plastic medals fine for awards?
They suit participation awards, party favors and large groups where cost per medal matters. Metal-style medals feel heavier and read as more formal for finals, championships or adult events. Material is a seller claim in the title, so check the listing photos and the stated diameter before choosing between them.
What size should an award medal be?
Several listings here state 2 inches, a common choice because it is large enough to read as an award yet light on the neck. The 100-count plastic packs do not state a size in the title, so check the listing dimensions if size matters to you, especially for older athletes who may expect something more substantial.
Can I put stickers or engraving on these?
The titles do not mention engraving or personalised plates. Some buyers add a sticker or label to the centre or back, but check the listing photos and the surface before ordering. If engraving matters, contact a local trophy shop first rather than assuming a mass-produced medal will accept it cleanly.
Are neck ribbons safe for young children?
Any cord or ribbon around the neck needs supervision with young children, and small plastic parts can be a choking risk. Check the age guidance on the listing, remove the medal for play and keep ribbons away from climbing equipment. This is general caution, not a safety rating or certification.
