This medal was chosen as the 48th issue of the prestigious Society of Medalists series in 1953. Peter Dalton stated in his message "From the Artist":

"With the survival of the world so dependent on peaceful means, the verse from the 133rd Psalm seems to take on added significance."

This medal measures 73mm in diameter and was produced by the Medallic Art Company which struck 657 pieces in bronze and an unknown number of pieces in silver (from a limited edition of 700).
