The golden monogram of Nicholas II, crowned with a golden Imperial crown, is superimposed on the knot of the ribbon. The inscription runs along the ribbon: "For immaculate service / on the m.Kur.Nizhegorod.Moore.Railway". Between the eagle and the monogram there is a Roman numeral corresponding to the number of years of immaculate service for which the badge was issued — XXV.
