| Obverse description | Central field displays the Baden coat of arms, featuring a diagonal bend, surmounted by the civic motto FIDELITAS. Surrounding the shield, an outer legend references the city of Karlsruhe and commemorates the Badenese victory over France in the Franco-Prussian War. The design is rendered in a plain, heraldic style characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century German state coinage, with the inscriptions arranged in a circular legend around the central device. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field is entirely occupied by a bold multi-line inscription in raised serif lettering reading KRIEG / SIEG UND / FRIEDEN / 1870 / 1871, commemorating the war, victory, and peace of the Franco-Prussian conflict. A circular outer legend, AN DES VEREINTEN DEUTSCHLANDS, runs along the periphery, attributing the events to united Germany. The design is purely typographic with no figurative elements, enclosed within a plain inner border and a finely milled outer rim, consistent with the commemorative purpose of the issue. |
