| Obverse description | A central circular field is encircled by a wreath of oak branches, a motif strongly associated with German imperial iconography. The encircling legend reads GEBIET DES OBERBEFEHLSHABERS OST, meaning 'Region of the Commander-in-Chief East', rendered in Latin characters. The oak leaves are arranged symmetrically, framing the inscription and lending a martial, authoritative character to the design. The field is plain, drawing full attention to the surrounding wreath and legend. |
