The obverse roundel depicts an imperial crown a smooth round background.

The wreath and motto are both in front of a decorative lined background which is encircled by two twisted ropes. The roundel lies on a smooth rectangular backing. The reverse is maker marked “Stimming & Venzlaff Altenburg 1916” to the center and features two solder marks where the roundel is attached, an integral catch and a steel pin/post, sleeve and prongs assembly.
