The medal is round in a dull silver color. On the obverse there is a cross in the center of which is a closed winged eagle facing its right and gripping a swastika in a wreath. The reverse bears the inscription,."Medaille fuer Deutsche Volkspflege." Hope this helps.

Eric,

That photo is of the First Class Neck Cross. I may have misread the question, but I thought he was asking about the medal (medaille), the lowest grade.
