| Founded by edict of Queen Elspeth at her coronation. This was explicitly designed as a "catch-all" award to
| |
| cover situations in which the Queen felt that no other award would be appropriate. This was in response to
| |
| several awards Elspeth had seen over her long experience in which the statutes were "bent" or compromised to
| |
| fit. The QHD is given ''entirely'' at the Queen's whim, for any act, series of acts, or pattern of behavior
| |
| she herself feels moved to recognize. Recommendations are neither solicited nor accepted, and there are no
| |
| quantity limits per individual or per reign. The token is traditionally, but not necessarily, crafted by
| |
| the Queen's own hand.
