- Half-length portraits of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) and Queen Savang Vadhana, facing left. The King wears the "Maha Svamisradhipati" regalia of the Most Illustrious Order of the Royal House of Chakri, with the Chakri chain and the Chula Chom Klao chain. The Queen wears the "Maha Svamini" regalia, adorned with the star of the Order of the White Elephant or the Order of the Crown of Thailand. Around the rim is the royal name inscription "จุฬาลงกรณ์ บรมราชาธิราช สว่างค์วัฒนาบรมราชเทวี" (Chulalongkorn, Supreme King; Savang Vadhana, Queen Consort).
- Reverse
- At the top is the Maha Chakri emblem, a ten-petalled chakra (petals turning to the left) radiating light all around, with tridents between the petals; at the center of the chakra is a lotus-shaped unalom, the royal emblem of King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I). In the middle of the medal are two deities standing on a pedestal, each holding a sword and grasping one corner of a cloth. The center of the cloth is left blank for inscribing the name of the recipient. The cloth rests above the elephant Airavata, standing on the same pedestal, which symbolizes the kingdom. Around the rim is the text "การแนชันนาลเอกษฮิบิเช่น ณ ท้องสนามหลวง กรุงเทพฯ ๑๒๔๔" (National Exhibition at the Sanam Luang field, Bangkok, 1244 [R.S. 120]). At the bottom is the text "สำหรับพระราชทานผู้ช่วยในการ" (For presentation to those who assisted in the event), with a flower at the very bottom.
