Medal: Commemorating the Destruction of Kittanning by Col. Armstrong, 8 September 1756 (reverse)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a bronze-colored medal. The medal is circular with a raised pattern around the edges and a central design. The top edge of the medal has raised text reading "KITTANNING DESTROYED BY COL. ARMSTRONG". The bottom edge of the medal has raised text reading "SEPTEMBER 8. 1756". The central design features three people standing on the left side and another figure on the right side with a building behind them. Smoke rises behind the building. The medal sits on a gray surface with a gradient background transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, and it casts a shadow.
