| Obverse description | A vertical twisted sword divides the field, with a laurel wreath encircling its crossguard and the date 1900 flanking the blade. A dove with outstretched wings is depicted below the hilt, facing downward, holding a ribbon in its beak. The circular legend reads CANADA'S BRAVE BOYS around the upper field and SOUTH AFRICA and WELCOME HOME in the inner field, with the maker's name P.W. ELLIS & CO. TORONTO visible at the base. |

| Reverse description | Beneath a heavily laden grapevine, a woman reaches out to warmly grasp the hand of a returning uniformed Canadian soldier wearing a slouch hat and shouldering a rifle. A small dog jumps up excitedly at their feet, and a building is visible in relief to the right background. |
