Medal: Constitution and Guerriere, 1812 (reverse)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The medal shows a bronze-colored coin with a circular shape and a raised edge. The coin's surface features an inscription that reads "TO THE MERIT AND SAILOR'S RIGHTS" along the top edge. In the center, it says "CONSTITUTION AND GUERRIERE 1812." A wreath of leaves surrounds the central text. The wreath is positioned above a crossed sword and other object resembling a ship's flag or a pole with two prongs at the end. The background behind the medal fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The medal casts a shadow on the surface below it.
