Oval-shaped bronze medal with a brown patina. The reverse side of the medal features a central raised image of a torch with a flame on top, surrounded by a plant or flowers. The majority of the surface is covered in raised text, written in French, and appears to be a poem or song lyrics. The text is arranged in multiple paragraphs, with some sections separated by lines resembling musical staffs. The medal is standing upright on a flat surface, casting a shadow. The background is a gradient of dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
