The badge is brass coloured with a royal blue enamelling around the border with text that reads '∙ BRITISH EMPIRE & COMMONWEALTH GAMES ∙ PERTH ∙ WESTERN AUSTRALIA ∙ 1962'. The centre of the badge depicts a crown surrounded by a linked chain with the lettering 'BE & CG' under the crown but above the chain. There is some red enamelling where the velvet of the crown would be located. Brooch pin attached to the back of the badge and the ribbon attaches to itself over a bar located under the brooch pin which appears to have been soldered with a silver coloured solder.
