Circular gilt bronze medal with loop for suspension; the face with a classically dressed standing female figure, her arms held aloft, an sword in her right hand, a shield in her left, shooting stars beyond, a laurel and vine wreath below, inscribed on the upper edge ‘ВЕТЕРАН ВІЙНИ’ (War Veteran); the reverse inscribed ‘УЧАСНИК БОЙОВИХ ДІЙ’ (Participant combatant); gilding worn; on a suspension bar in the Ukrainian national colours. The medal was presumably awarded for participation in the war with Germany, 1941-1945.
