A bronze-colored medal with a raised profile portrait of a man with long hair wearing a military uniform. The man's head and shoulders are depicted, facing right. The words "ROUGET DE L'ISLE" are written in raised letters on either side of the man's head, curving around the top half of the medal's edge. The numbers "1760 1836" are written on either side of the man's neck. The medal sits on a gray surface with a shadow beneath it, against a gray gradient background that darkens towards the top.
