| Obverse description | Two allegorical figures in high relief flank a central inscribed tablet: on the left, a semi-draped female figure holding a laurel branch, representing the arts; on the right, a bare-chested male figure representing industry. Above the tablet, the two figures join hands over an Ionic column capital framed by laurel branches and a cogwheel, with architectural and industrial scenes — including railway bridges and a factory — visible in the background. The maker's signature A. VOGEL Fa. appears below the tablet. |

| Reverse description | The recessed circular field at the center bears a facing helmeted head of Pallas Athena in low relief, surrounded by elaborate scrollwork and decorative foliage. A circular legend runs along the border of the octagonal plaque, separated from the central field by a raised rim, with laurel and berry branches decorating the beveled corner spandrels. |
