| Obverse description | High-relief cast composition depicting a British bulldog, a Russian bear, and a French rooster grouped together, the bulldog prominently in the foreground holding a scroll inscribed with mock treaty text. A feather quill is shown at left, referencing the signing of the Pact of London. Legends arc around the border and along a ribbon reading HONI SOIT, with the motto WIR SCHLIESSEN KEINEN SEPARAT FRIEDEN inscribed in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | High-relief cast composition depicting the same three allied animals — a Russian bear, a French rooster, and a British bulldog — locked in a fierce struggle with one another, their bodies intertwined in combat across the entire field. A circular legend in the border carries the ironic German inscription implying the allies will settle their differences among themselves. |
