Obverse description Central device features the Polish white eagle displayed with wings spread, head turned to the right, wearing a royal crown, rendered in high relief against a flat field. The eagle's talons grip a decorative shield at the base, and fine feather detailing is evident across the body and wings. The circular legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs around the periphery, with the date split as 19 and 24 flanking the lower body of the eagle. The design reflects the heraldic tradition of the Polish national emblem as adopted by the Second Polish Republic.

The circular legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1924 appears in the lower exergue flanked by small decorative arrow motifs.
