Upon the blue enamelled ring surrounding the portrait and border ar are superimposed oak branches representing Oak of Takovo wreath of oxydized silver. Under the portrait, a double headed eagle in gold, wings displayed, is placed so that part of the portrait and wreath are hidden behind it; the eagle bears upon its breast an escutcheon enamelled red with a white cross between four fire-steels of gold. The eagle, executed in relief, bears in its claws a ribbon inscribed "ЦВЕТИ - 1815" ("PALM SUNDAY - 1815"). The ribbon is enamelled white and bordered gold. Surmounting the portrait, between the branches of the oak wreath, and extending beyond its border, the cypher "M" (standing for "Milosh") in high relief is placed. Upon the right and left part of the cypher "M", a royal fleur-de-lys is superimposed. Between the top points of the cyper "M" is a cross-life flower. The entire medallion (except for enamelled or silver parts) is made of gold and has an additional raised border.
