Two circular views display a bronze medal with a deep brown patina. One side features Germania seated in flowing robes, holding a sword and wreath beside a stone inscribed "Seid Einig." On the reverse, a steam engine crosses a bridge in a central medallion, framed by a dense wreath of oak and grapes containing six small industrial vignettes. Raised German text borders both faces, emphasizing the fine relief and darkened recesses.
