Each United Nations medal is identical in design, with a unique ribbon to identify the specific mission. The MINUSMA ribbon is UN blue on the edges, with a wide central band royal blue flanked on the left with thin stripes of green, gold, and red, representing Mali’s national colours, and on the right with a stripe of sand colour.

Qualifying time for the medal is 90 days of service in the Mission. Subsequent tours of the same regions would be denoted with a numeral attached to the ribbon.

United Nations medals are not engraved.

All official medals are sent loose on the ribbon unless medal mounting is also purchased on the same order.
