This brass crown medal is round in shape. On the front it bears an embossed square cross, in crossed swords. The cross in the middle has a crown and on the vertical arms of the cross there are embossed monograms of Kings George I and Constantine I. The circular inscription “WITH GOD FOR KING AND COUNTRY 1912-1913” (in Byzantine script) surrounds the composition.. The back side bears the three-line inscription “MACEDONIA - EPIRUS - ACHIPELAGO”, surmounted by laurel branches. At the top of the crown there is a ring with a horizontal metal slot through which passes a light blue ribbon with a red line in the centre and white ones at the edge. On the ribbon there are the words “ELASSON - SARANTAPORON - GIANNITSA - AETORACHI”, in reverse of the intended order.
