The front shows the portrait after an old engraving, with his motto and his name as the edge inscription. The reverse shows a fight with a polar bear on Nova Zembla with the edge inscription "Om den Noord 1594" The Rotterdam sculptor and designer Han Rehm chose an iron alloy as the material because bronze was not available in 1942.
