The obverse of the medal shows an agricultural landscape with a farmer ploughing, sheaves of wheat, grain silos on a background showing the sun rising, and scattering its rays, all under the allegorical image of a farmer and a woman pointing with the right hand, to the riches of the earth. On the upper half left, the inscription in two lines: ”CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE” The reverse depicts a grazing ground at the foot of the mountains with grazing animals - horses, cattle, sheep - the coat of arms of the country at the top - right and the inscription "EXHIBITION" to the top left. Established following the ratification of the law of April 13, 1925, the chambers of agriculture, as public institutions, had the role to represent the interests of agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry and functioned as advisory and administrative bodies assisting the Ministry of Agriculture. Starting 1930, they were turned into autonomous public institutions.
