Five heraldic shields of the Central Powers are arranged in a row across the centre, including the German eagle, Austro-Hungarian eagle, Saxon arms, Bavarian lion, and the Ottoman crescent, with a sixth shield displayed at the base. |

| Reverse description | A semi-nude male figure wearing a Stahlhelm stands frontally in the field, resting both hands on a downward-pointed sword; beside him a large bear faces left in a submissive posture, symbolising Russia. A laurel branch decorates the exergue, with the maker's signature LAUER NBG and date incised along the lower field. |
