The reverse side shows a quote; the quote reads: "WITH MALICE TOWARD NONE WITH CHARITY FOR ALL WITH FIRMNESS IN THE RIGHT AS GOD GIVES US TO SEE THE RIGHT LET US STRIVE ON TO FINISH THE WORK WE ARE IN." The quote is on the right; two torch-like structures flank the text; faint illegible signature underneath. The medal has a bronze color; oval in shape.
