Later designs differ from trial designs in the distance of the oak wreath from the edge. It comes to the edge. On October 16, 1918, another 600 medals were ordered on the AWES coin. These medals, according to modern data, were made of military metal with gilding. They have an embossed, decorated ear on top with a small ring and a ring of tape. The medal was not refundable after death and remained with the heirs. There are also miniatures of 16.1 mm.

Of the 600 medals struck in war metal, only 24 were awarded. The whereabouts of the remaining medals are unknown.
