The first version has an obverse inscription that translates to “French Republic,” and a reverse inscription that translates to “Merchant Navy, Honour at Work.” Both the second and third versions have an obverse inscription that translates to “Merchant Navy,” and a reverse inscription that translates to “Medal of Honour.”
There may be additional versions that vary in composition.
