The reverse of the medal shows the above three-line lettering FOR / OUTSTANDING / LEISTUNGEN , under which the symbol of the VdgB can be seen. The maker's mark A can be read on the upper edge of the medal . The medal was worn on the upper left side of the chest on a dark green rectangular cloth-covered clasp. A 2 mm wide vertical central stripe is woven into it on both sides, which is 3 mm from the hem and is red for the bronze level, white-gray for the silver level and golden yellow for the gold level. In addition, the VdgB symbol is placed on a round medallion in the middle of the clasp, which has the same texture as the awarded level. The interim clasp is of the same quality.
