Medallion by Jules Prosper Legastelois. The medallion is bronze-colored, with a curved top. The left side shows a woman with wings standing on a pile of dead bodies, with her arms outstretched. She wears a short dress and a crown on her head. She holds a spear in her right hand. There are several people lying on the ground around her. At the bottom is an inscription that reads "À LA GLOIRE DES ARMÉES DU DROIT ET DE LA LIBERTÉ". The right side shows a rooster standing on a wreath. The rooster faces to the right. There are leaves and plants around the rooster. Below the rooster is an empty rectangular panel surrounded by a decorative border. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
