| Obverse description | High-relief bust of Grossadmiral Alfred von Tirpitz facing slightly left, depicted in civilian dress with his characteristic long forked beard. The circular legend around the rim gives his name and rank, with his birth date (18. März 1849, marked with a star) to the left of the effigy and his death date (6. März 1930, marked with a cross) to the right. |

| Reverse description | A descending eagle clutching a laurel branch in its talons swoops above a naval flag mounted on a mast rising from a stylized sea. The flag bears an anchor device and billows across the central field, with waves rendered in low relief beneath. The engraver's signature K·GOETZ appears in the lower exergue, and the circular legend reads around the rim. |
