The two circular faces of a bronze medal are shown side-by-side against a gray background. On the left, three women in profile embrace; a figure wearing a Phrygian cap clasps hands with a figure on the right wearing a large, flared bow headdress. On the right, a soldier in a helmet and overcoat holds a rifle, treading on a broken eagle emblem. French inscriptions and the date "11 NOVEMBRE 1918" encircle the composition.
