| Obverse description | The field is divided into four quarters by two perpendicular lines, forming a cross. The name JOFFRE is split across the upper-left and lower-left quarters (JOF / FRE), and the name FRENCH is split across the upper-right and lower-right quarters (FRE / NCH). Two double-headed vertical arrows are struck between the upper and lower quarters on each side, emphasizing the interchangeability of the two names — a satirical visual pun mocking the Allied commanders. |

| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a seven-line German-language propaganda inscription in raised relief capital letters, filling the field without border or wreath. The text mocks the Allied commanders Joffre and French with a sardonic verse. |
