It is a bronze medal, with the diameter of 33 mm. The obverse of the first type had a non-crowned eagle surrounded by a laurel wreath with the letters KRN (National Council). In the second type the eagle was also uncrowned but the inscription was KRAJOWA RADA NARODOWA below are two oak sprays. The reverse of both types has the inscription, RP / ZWYCIESTWO / I WOLNOSC / 9.
