Obverse. In a laurel wreath, there is a cross of St. George on a bow from an order ribbon, surrounded by the inscription: “FOR THE FIGHT OF THE VARYAG AND THE KOREAN ON JANUARY 27. 1904 -CHEMULPO-"

Reverse. Image of a sea battle. In the foreground of the composition are the cruiser "Varyag" and the gunboat "Koreets", going into battle towards the Japanese squadron, whose ships are visible to the right of the medal, above the horizon line; above - in the clouds, under the very ear, a four-pointed cross is placed as a symbol of the Christian faith, sorrow and unforgettable memory.
