| Obverse description | The field features a color-printed black and white photograph of military landing craft approaching a shoreline during the Battle of the Scheldt. Below the photographic scene, a horizontal row of five color-printed national flags (British, Polish, Norwegian, Dutch, and Canadian) spans the medal, with a raised relief map of the Scheldt estuary region to the lower right. The campaign dates appear in raised relief to the lower left, and the curved legend arcs across the upper field in gilt lettering. |
