Medal: John Paul Jones

The image shows two bronze medals side by side, each with a distinct design. The medal on the left features a profile portrait of a man with short hair, wearing a military uniform with epaulets on his shoulders. The words "JOHANNES PAULO JONES" are inscribed along the top edge of the medal, and "CLASSIS PRAEFECTO" is written along the bottom edge. The medal on the right depicts a naval battle scene with two ships at sea. One ship has its sails down and appears to be sinking or on fire, while the other ship has its sails up and is flying a flag. The words "IN HOSTIUM NAVALES VIRES" are written along the top edge of the medal. Both medals have a dark brown color and a circular shape. They are displayed on a gray surface with a gradient background that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
