The oval shaped obverse depicts three men; one man has a sledgehammer over his shoulder, one has a scroll in his hands and the other has a sheaf of wheat lying over his forearm. These men are below an arched: “Tag Der Arbeit” (Labor Day) and above a national eagle, with outstretched wings clutching a wreathed swastika within its talons, that is flanked by “1935” (19 ‐ left, 35- right). The full back reverse features a horizontally crimped on steel well working pin. It is also maker marked “Robinson Oberstein/Nahe”. It measures 1 3/8 inches wide by 1 7/8 inches tall.
