The obverse is adorned with an owl in the center of an inner circle, symbolizing wisdom and learning, surrounded by the inscription "120 JAHRE MÄNNER-TURNVEREIN V.1848 E.V. 18 MTV 48 HILDESHEIM". The reverse depicts a man carrying a small child or a mythical figure like a leprechaun or elf, indicating perhaps a theme of nurture or folklore.
