- Circular-shaped. Obverse side has a high-relief image of a lady looking to her left, with her foot resting on a helmet; a sun burst comes out from behind the helmet. In her left hand she is holding a dagger, in her right, a stake. The reverse side has a high-relief feather in the middle. A sphere-shaped suspender ring is attached at the top centre edge. Hanging from the ring is a pleated ribbon with a red centre, white borders and rainbow stripes on both sides; ribbon is attached at the top to a hook and eye pin. The separate pin to go with this has a rectangular metal base, covered with a shiny, ridged material: blue, with 2 thick bands of alternating coloured stripes on either side, with a thin band of alternating coloured stripes in the middle. The reverse reveals the metal base: cut in the middle, ends folding upwards with a hook and eye pin at the top. Housed in a textured blue box, with a semi-circle cut out of the front lip at the bottom; the top and bottom are taped together, with an additional white sticker (see inscription). Inside is removable cardboard back and support with a fuzzy top and a slit cut out where the medal rests. Narrative: Campaign and service medal, Victory World War II
