The obverse features a finely detailed right-facing portrait of Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin wearing a decorated military-style collar with visible insignia and textured uniform details. His carefully modeled facial features, mustache, and formal pose emphasize authority and innovation. The reverse depicts the majestic Zeppelin ZR III airship flying above a detailed city skyline with tall skyscrapers, towers, waterfront buildings, and harbor activity below.
