| Obverse description | Detailed battle scene depicting the 1940 assault on Fort Eben-Emael: a German glider and aircraft are shown landing atop the fortification, with soldiers engaging a Belgian armored turret in the foreground. A Belgian coat of arms appears at lower left, a German Wehrmacht eagle roundel at lower right, an explosion in the upper left field, and a diving German Luftwaffe eagle at upper center. The legend 'Eben — Emael 1940' arcs along the border, with the engraver's signature 'P.P.STEINER' in the lower field. The design is framed by a wreath of oak and laurel. |
