In brass; measures 37.6 mm in height incl. eyelet, 32.1 mm in width; weighs 17.9 g not including the suspension and connecting link. Features a separate eyelet soldered to the medallion.

In very fine to excellent condition. The obverse has a few tiny scuffs and scratches to the recessed field, all of them barely noticeable. The bas-relief portrait has only the slightest wear to the highest points; its details are very well-preserved. The reverse has just a few minuscule contact marks that are practically invisible to the naked eye, otherwise pristine. Both sides of the medallion are free of significant tarnish and exhibit an attractive mild patina. The original "gilt" mint luster is nicely preserved and bright in recessed areas around the portrait and lettering.

The medal comes on a late-1940s suspension, a single-layer model in brass. The beautifully preserved, clean ribbon is old, likely of the period. The connecting link appears to be of the period as well. A very attractive example overall.
