Awarded for service in France, Belgium, Holland or Germany between D-Day and the end of the war, the medal takes the form of a six-pointed tombac star, 4cm from point to point, whose uppermost point features a suspension loop. To its slightly domed, obverse center is the stylized Royal Cipher "GRI," with "VI" beneath it, surmounted by a King’s crown and with "The France And Germany Star" on an age darkened background scrolled around it. Its reverse is featureless. The medal has a ring fed through its suspension loop, with its, ribbed moiré ribbon passing through the ring. The ribbon has dark blue-white-red-white-dark blue vertical stripes to it, each in the same width, representing the flags of the Union, France and the Netherlands. Included is an original two piece cardboard box with friction top lid that is stamped "France-Germany". Also included is a miniature version of the medal with ribbon.
