In the Book
Lions are supposed to be “The Kings of Beasts,” the Cowardly Lion believes that his fear makes him inadequate. He does not understand that courage means acting in the face of fear, which he does frequently. Only during the aftermath of the Wizard’s gift, when he is under the influence of an unknown liquid substance that the Wizard orders him to drink is he not filled with fear.

In the 1939 movie version of this classic story,
The Wizard of Oz , the Lion get a Medal from the Wizard that highlights his courage in the face of wicked witches.

Cowardly Lion Courage Medal

HISTORICAL NOTES

Cowardly Lion’s courage medal used for the 1939 film.

The original Courage Medal prop from the 1939 film, a cross-shaped medal made of poly-chromed metal and measuring 7.5 × 7.5″ (19.1 × 19.1 cm), features a lion in profile above a crown and a knight’s helmet and the word “Courage” in raised blue scroll lettering. In the late 1950s, Mal Caplan, the head of the costume department at MGM was in a life-threatening automobile accident, and spent months in the hospital before returning to work. For some time he was unable to sit upright and had to work from a chaise longe. In recognition of his courage, his colleagues and the management at MGM presented him with the Cowardly Lion’s Courage Medal. He was also given the Tin Man’s “heart”, but he gave that to “someone who needed it”, a man in the same hospital who was having open heart surgery. The current whereabouts of the heart clock are unknown. The Courage Medal remained in the Caplan family until it was consigned to a Sotheby’s Entertainment Memorabilia auction in May 1997. The medal was purchased by a New Jersey collector, and in November 2010 was featured on episode 7 of the TV show Hollywood Treasure.
