Obverse description The field features a large cross-shaped hole forming a Swiss cross in the centre, surrounded by billowing smoke clouds on either side. A radiant sunburst emanates from above the cross. The circular legend reads MOUSQUETAIRES around the upper field and LOCLE at the base, underlined.

Reverse description The reverse surrounds the central cross hole with a richly detailed trophy of arms: crossed flags, rifle stocks, and a fasces-like bundle in the upper field, flanked by a laurel branch to the left and a palm branch to the right. A powder flask, satchel, and shooting target are visible in the lower field, with a hammer and tongs below. A feathered hat surmounts the composition at the top.
